Pyongyang, December 9 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of
the DPRK Friday gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA
as regards the fact that the Office of the UN High Commissioner for
Human Rights pulled up the DPRK over the issue of divided families in
the north and the south of Korea:
The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights slandered
the DPRK in a "report" on the issue of divided families in the north and
the south on Dec. 7, citing all sorts of fabricated information that
the north "abducted" someone.
The DPRK resolutely rejects the above-said "report" peppered with
lies and fabrications cooked up by the south Korean authorities
published by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
despite its repeated warnings, branding this as hostile act against the
DPRK.
As already the DPRK clarified several times, it has nothing to do with the word of abduction.
The suspension of the reunion of the divided families and relatives
which had been regularly arranged thanks to the positive measures and
sincere efforts of the DPRK in the past is entirely attributable to the
south Korean authorities' acts of bringing the inter-Korean relations to
complete collapse by ceaselessly luring and abducting citizens of the
DPRK.
In April last the south Korean authorities mobilized gangsters of
the Intelligence Service to abduct a group of more than 10 women
citizens of the DPRK in a foreign country and the chief executive of
south Korea openly agitated "defection from the north". This proves that
the south Korean authorities are a group of inhumane criminals whose
main job is abduction.
The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights made public
the above-said "report" at the time when the south Korean authorities
are hit hard from all sides for the "Park Geun Hye scandal". This is the
unreasonable action taken by the Office away from the principle of
objectivity and impartiality, which keep the Office alive, following the
south Korean authorities keen to seek a way out in escalating the
north-south confrontation.
If the Office is truly concerned for the solution of the issue of
the divided families and relatives, it should bring charges against the
chief executive of south Korea resorting to undisguised agitation of
"defection from the north" and the gangsters of the Intelligence Service
of south Korea that lured and abducted a group of women citizens of the
DPRK in broad daylight, to begin with, and demand the south Korean
authorities send back those to the DPRK at once. -0-
