Rodong Sinmun Saturday in an article terms this a hysteric fit of those taken aback by ever louder shouts of hurrah for the Workers' Party and socialism made by all service personnel and people of the DPRK.

It goes on:

The issue of human rights has never existed and there cannot be such a thing under the socialist system of the DPRK centered on the popular masses.

This being a hard reality, the south Korean puppet group are working hard to carry out their scenario to stifle the DPRK in collusion with outside forces, while making malignant mud-slinging at it. This is an unpardonable mockery of justice and truth and an unbearable insult to inviolable human rights.

The puppet forces are the human rights abusers who put south Korea under fascist dictatorship.

These human rights abusers are imploring their masters U.S. and Japan for sanctions and pressure upon the compatriots in the north, ballyhooing about "human rights in the north," while shelving their crimes. This is the height of shamelessness.

No matter what rhetoric the group of traitors may let out to mislead the public opinion, they can neither tarnish the image of the most advantageous Korean-style socialism centered on the popular masses in the world nor escape their dirty fate of going to ruin.
