CPRK Secretariat Assails S. Korean District Court for Sentencing Inhabitant to Penal Servitude

Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- The Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) released information bulletin No. 1069 Thursday blasting the south Korean puppet Chongju District Court for sentencing again to six months in prison recently an inhabitant who had been indicted for the fifth time for praising the DPRK at a trial.
    The bulletin said:
    He was sentenced to eight months in prison for posting articles praising the DPRK on website in May 2011. But at every hearing he shouted "Long Live the Democratic People's Republic of Korea!", not abandoning his principle. He has so far been in jail as his penal servitude was extended for the fifth time.
    What he did reflected his faith, conscience and people's mindset.
    However, the puppet forces of south Korea have brutally suppressed him and sentenced him to penal servitude, a revelation of their desperate moves to prevent the people's mindset from supporting the DPRK.
    After its emergence the present conservative regime has intensified the fascist suppression of progressive and democratic forces in south Korea including pro-reunification movement organizations and figures.
    Anyone who utters even a word of longing for the DPRK is labeled as the "forces following the north" and is thrown into prison on charges of violation of the "Security Law" whether he is an ordinary citizen, teacher, man of literature and arts, religionist or even a lawmaker. This is a deplorable reality of south Korea.
    With nothing can the south Korean regime quell the south Koreans' longing for the stirring reality in the DPRK which makes leaping progress toward a bright future under the wise guidance of the great illustrious commander and their desire for achieving reunification through alliance with the north just as it is hard to get the sun eclipsed by palms.
    The present fascist junta can never escape the same miserable fate as what the "yusin" dictatorial regime did as it threw behind bars and severely punished anyone who uttered a mere word of reunification. -0-
