A spokesman for the Central Committee of the Red Cross Society of the DPRK said in a statement on June 25 that the above-said behavior of the south Korean authorities was little short of self-admittance to the hideous allurement and abduction committed by themselves as it shows how much they are afraid of the disclosure of their criminal nature.

The puppet group can have neither reason nor excuse whatsoever to decline the request made by the Association which was authorized by the families of victims, the statement said, and went on:

The gangsters of the puppet Intelligence Service are the criminals who are resorting to all sorts of plot-breeding and conspiracy to divide harmonious families of the people in the DPRK while getting engrossed in the abduction of the DPRK citizens in order to save their hideous hostile policy toward the DPRK from its bankruptcy and the abductees of the DPRK and their families are their direct victims.

Even at this moment, the families of victims are holding out the hope that their beloved daughters would come back to the fold of the families as early as possible, and we are ready to immediately send them to south Korea to meet their daughters.

Now the puppet group is talking about "adaptation" and "brain-washing." This is just poor sleight of hand to keep the abductees away from outside, cover up the despicable true nature of their unethical crimes and escape protest and denunciation at home and abroad.

Frankly speaking, we know well through reliable information obtained from the inside source of the puppet group the reason why it is not letting public know about the condition of the DPRK citizens and in what difficult situation they brave blackmail and appeasement.

We also know that the gangsters of the puppet Intelligence Service are now finding themselves in hot water over the issue of how to handle the citizens of the DPRK.

Those telling more lies to cover up truth would become bigger liars and they are bound to add crimes to what they have committed already amid public censure.

If the puppet group persistently resorts to sordid smear campaign against the citizens of the DPRK and keeps mocking at the public at home and abroad, rubbing salt in the wounds of the families of the victims, the situation will turn out to be more serious. This is our repeated warning.
