U.S. and S. Korean Authorities Hit for Their Allurement and Abduction of North Koreans Abroad

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, August 3 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea gave the following answer to a question put by KCNA Tuesday as regards the recent allurement and abduction of many northerners abroad to south Korea: Recently the south Korean authorities, at the U.S. instigation and under its command, faked up the so-called "massive defection of northerners and their transfer." They took away hundreds of northerners, mainly women and children, to south Korea in groups after alluring them to Vietnam via the vicinity of the DPRK on a phased basis.
    As a matter of fact, most of the northerners whom they described as "defectors from the north" are those who fell victim to the allurement tactics of the enemy's spy organs after going to Northeast China for a visit to their relatives.
    It is by no means accidental that this case was faked up in less a week after the "bill on human rights in north Korea" envisaging fabulous "financial aid" to the "defectors from the north" was passed through the U.S. House of Representatives.
    U.S. media are making much fuss, as if they had been waiting for the opportunity to occur, that the wholesale defection of north Koreans proves bankruptcy of the north Korean regime's education, information activities and control over its citizens. They cry for joy that it would be a best scenario if this leads to the collapse of north Korea.
    This clearly proves that the recent case was, to all intents and purposes, a product of the U.S. hostile DPRK policy whose ultimate aim is to topple its political system and it was prompted by the deliberate intention of dishonest elements in south Korea desirous of discord and confrontation between the north and the south.
    What should not be overlooked is that Vietnam conspired with them in this case.
    The DPRK has information enough to prove that Vietnam was involved in the plot of the U.S. and the south Korean authorities to allure and abduct citizens of the DPRK.
    Through its involvement in the case Vietnam self-exposed that it can stoop to any perfidious action, discarding elementary sense of obligation and morality between the states, in order to meet its own interests.
    The DPRK will certainly make non-governmental organizations in some countries pay for their flesh traffic worldwide as they have been engrossed in threatening, alluring and trading off DPRK citizens under the signboard of humanitarianism at the instigation of the U.S.
    The U.S. seems to calculate that it can use the issue of "defectors" for bringing down the DPRK as it did erstwhile East European countries. This is, however, as foolish an act as trying to put an end to the sun.
    No issue between the DPRK and the U.S., to say nothing of the nuclear issue, can be settled unless the U.S. fundamentally drops its hostile policy toward the DPRK.
