The statement said:

The south Korean authorities' allurement and abduction of the DPRK's citizens in group is an unethical crime.

Though the DPRK's citizens demanded the repatriation to the homeland, the south Korean authorities locked them up in solitary cells and disallowed them to express their will.

This case helps the world know well who is a real human rights abuser.

We strongly demand the south Korean authorities send the abductees back home and discontinue all sorts of provocations against the DPRK.

The south Korean authorities should make honest apology for their criminal acts and stop such base act of leaving a blot on history.

We urge the UN to restore its mission as a spokesman for justice and a genuine international organization.

It is none other than the south Korean authorities that deserves international criticism, punishment and sanctions.
