The statement said:

We protest against the south Korean regime for floating the fiction about the "voluntary defection from the north" by a group of citizens of the DPRK though it lured and abducted them to serve its politically motivated purpose.

The DPRK is strongly demanding their repatriation but the south Korean authorities are paying no heed to its demand.

They can never evade its disgraceful responsibility for the group allurement and abduction.

We demand the south Korean authorities send back those citizens as early as possible to their families.

In the meantime, the branch sent letters to the south Korean puppet embassy in Warsaw and the UN high commissioner for Human Rights in demand of immediate repatriation of the DPRK citizens.
