S. Korean Authorities' Anti-National Crimes under Fire

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, November 5 (KCNA) -- Mean and despicable acts of the south Korean authorities in whetting swords behind the scene with hostile feelings while wearing smiles on their faces have driven the favorably developing inter-Korean relations to a grave phase and given rise to an abnormal situation in which the implementation of the June 15 joint declaration has run into troubles, states Rodong Sinmun Friday in a signed article. Recalling that the south Korean authorities worked out an "emergency plan" to cope with someone's "rapidly changing state of affairs" and has all along renewed it, the article says:
    It is obviously an open perfidy to the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration that they are watching for a chance, while whetting the sword, to slay the fellow countrymen with whom they should advance along the road of independent reunification hand in hand, reconciled and united.
    The present "government for people" of south Korea has since its inception committed such criminal acts as throwing a wet blanket over the reconciliation, unity and fervor of reunification of the nation and creating grave difficulties in the inter-Korean relations.
    An abnormal situation prevailed in south Korea last year as evidenced by the fact that righteous-minded people who had contributed to the arrangement of the historic Pyongyang meeting were taken to prisons one after another and meted out severe punishment.
    This year, too, the south Korean authorities have perpetrated undisguised acts of barring the implementation of the June 15 joint declaration and damaging the inter-Korean relations.
    The Pyongyang visit of a south Korean non-governmental delegation for participating in the memorial services on the 10th anniversary of the demise of President Kim Il Sung was blocked by the entirely unjustifiable act of the south Korean authorities.
    They officially announced the "stand of the government" that the South Headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification and the National Alliance of Youth and Students for the Country's Reunification and the (south) Korean Federation of University Student Councils could not be allowed to participate in reunification functions in the north under the "National Security Law." This anti-national, anti-reunification act drove to a collapse even the August 15 function for reunification that had been scheduled as a nation-wide event.
    If the south Korean authorities have the will for national reconciliation and cooperation and the slightest stand and stance to implement the June 15 joint declaration, they should make an apology to the whole nation for all their anti-national and anti-reunification acts including the folly of the nonsensical "emergency plan" and show their will for reunification in practice.
