Japan Urged to Halt Anti-Chongryon and Anti-DPRK Terrorism

KCNA

    Pyongyang, August 26 (KCNA) -- Ultra-right gangsters of Japan committed such grave terrorism as throwing explosives to the Fukuoka Prefectural Headquarters of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) and the Fukuoka branch of the Nishi Credit Association of the Korean Bank and firing bullets at the center of the Nishi Credit Association of the Korean Bank in Okayama at night on August 23. Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary vehemently denounces the consecutive acts of terrorism perpetrated by the ultra-right gangsters of Japan as a blatant challenge to the DPRK and Chongryon and an intolerable insult to the Korean nation. The commentary continues:
    It was premeditated and deliberate moves of the Japanese reactionaries to bar the entry of Mangyongbong-92 into the Japanese port. Lurking behind it is a sinister aim to infringe upon the right of Koreans in Japan to visit their motherland that had been underway on the basis of noble humanitarianism and endanger their safety.
    The Japanese authorities patronize and encourage the ultra-right reactionaries in such terrorism as throwing explosives and firing bullets to halt the operation of the ship Mangyongbong-92, the only humanitarian service between the DPRK and Japan. Their act can never be pardoned.
    Japan is, indeed, a lawless rogue state with the poorest human rights record ignorant of international law, justice, human ethics and morality and humanitarianism.
    The DPRK values sovereignty and dignity more than its life.
    The Japanese authorities should immediately stop all forms of political terrorism harassing and threatening Chongryon and Koreans in Japan, probe the truth behind the recent incidents at an early date and take responsible measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
