Spokesmen for Organizations of Koreans in China Call for Repatriating DPRK Citizens

Pyongyang, July 23 (KCNA) -- A spokesmen for the General Association of Koreans in China and its afflicted Liaoning Regional Association made statements on July 12 and 13 urging the south Korean puppet forces to repatriate DPRK women citizens who were abducted and held in custody.

The statements said that the south Korean authorities refused the repatriation of Kim Ryon Hui and 12 women citizens of the DPRK who are calling for repatriation, claiming that "they came to south Korea to settle there at their will" and "there is no reason to repatriate them to the north in view of the present law".

If the south Korean authorities sincerely respect their will, Kim Ryon Hui and 12 DPRK's women citizens should be sent back home as they demanded, the statements noted.
