South Korean puppet fascists arrest reunification champion Rev Han Sang Ryol

Rev. Han Sang Ryol Arrested in S. Korea

Pyongyang, August 21 (KCNA) -- The Lee Myung Bak group of traitors took such fascist action as arresting Rev. Han Sang Ryol, permanent adviser of the Solidarity for Progress of south Korea, on August 20 on the charge of violation of the notorious "National Security Law" after his visit to the DPRK, according to south Korean MBC and CBS. The fascist agents arrested him the moment he went back via Panmunjom. He is now questioned at the Phaju Police Station in Kyonggi Province. After branding his visit to the DPRK as "illegal," they are harshly suppressing him, questioning him who was behind to sponsor it. But Han is offering stubborn resistance against them. Lee Myung Bak Group's Fascist Suppression under Fire Pyongyang, August 22 (KCNA) -- The Lee Myung Bak group of traitors hurled dozens of puppet MPs and operatives of the "Ministry of Unification" and the intelligence service to the area of the south side in Panmunjom on August 20 to walk off Rev. Han Sang Ryol, reunification champion of south Korea, by taking his both arms the moment he crossed the demarcation line dividing Korea into the north and the south. A spokesman for the North Side Committee for Implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration in a statement released on Sunday bitterly denounced in the name of all Koreans the group of traitors for unreasonably arresting and detaining Rev. Han for punishment despite the DPRK's warning and concern of public at home and abroad. All the activities conducted by him throughout his stay in the north can never be a crime under any circumstances as they were entirely just and praiseworthy ones for defending and implementing the north-south joint declaration and achieving reconciliation, unity and reunification of the nation, the statement said, and went on: Had the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors neither brought the inter-Korean relations to a collapse nor blocked the activities of reunification movement organizations nor pushed the situation to the brink of a war through such hideous anti-DPRK plots as the warship case and exercises for a war of aggression against the north, Rev. Han would not have taken the trouble of making a trip at the risk of his life. Rev. Han chanted at the top of his voice the slogan "Long live the attainment of reunification and peace in the spirit of By our nation itself," crossing the above-said line is the irresistible echo of the era. The Lee group should set free at once Rev. Han who had been thrown into behind bars at the point of bayonet and immediately stop the fascist suppression of the reunification movement organizations of people of various circles. All Koreans at home and abroad should turn out as one in the actions for seeking the release of pro-reunification patriotic personages including the unjustly arrested Rev. Han and holding in check the moves of the puppet group to escalate the confrontation with fellow countrymen. Fascist Suppression of Rev. Han Sang Ryol Flailed Pyongyang, August 22 (KCNA) -- The Overseas Side Committee for Implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration issued a statement on August 20 denouncing the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors for its fascist suppression of Rev. Han Sang Ryol, reunification champion of south Korea who visited the DPRK on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the June 15 joint declaration. His visit to the DPRK was fully supported by all the Koreans at home and abroad as it was a manifestation of his firm will to instill patriotism for reunification into the Koreans and give a steady continuity to the trend of independent reunification, and a quite just and righteous action to defend and implement the June 15 joint declaration and achieve national reconciliation and unity, the statement said, and went on: By arresting him the Lee Myung Bak regime self-exposed the anti-reunification nature of the authorities of the south side who persistently pursue division and confrontation against improved south-north relations and the peaceful reunification of the country, to say nothing of the implementation of the June 15 joint declaration. The Lee regime should stop suppressing Rev. Han and immediately set him free, the statement urged, declaring that they would resolutely foil the south side authorities' unwarranted moves to punish the reverend.
