S. Korean Regime Urged to Send back Abductees of DPRK

Pyongyang, April 17 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) Sunday released a statement hitting out at the Park Geun Hye group of traitors for becoming all the more undisguised in their confrontation and conspiratorial racket.
    The Park Geun Hye group recently committed a hideous abduction against the DPRK. It lured into other country in the most despicable and brutal manner DPRK's employees of a restaurant in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province of China in collusion with brokers active there, before abducting them into south Korea.
    The statement branded this as an inhuman act that can be committed only by such fascist tyrant as Park Geun Hye and the group of ferocious terrorists and gangsters such as the puppet Intelligence Service.
    However, the Park group is working hard to mislead public opinion by describing the case as "a group defection from the north" and "substantial effect of sanctions" and "skepticism about north's social system", "reflection of yearning" for the south Korean society.
    As for those abductees, they are talents who grew up in happiness while learning to their heart's content under the care of the DPRK.
    There can be no socio-political and economic reason for them to be "skeptical" about the social system and about their beloved parents and family members as they have enjoyed a highly stable life under the social system in the DPRK.
    Moreover, they are the women with pure conscience as they have never imagined that they would be taken to such horrible hell as south Korea.
    The abduction of the citizens of the DPRK is an extension and vivid manifestation of the hideous "north policy" of Park Geun Hye.
    The CPRK clarifies its crucial stand as follows under the prevailing gruesome situation:
    1. Park Geun Hye and her group must apologize for the unprecedented group abduction and immediately and unconditionally send them back.
    If Park and her group keep them in custody and persecute them in a bid to press them into defection and cause harm to their physical condition even a bit, the Park group will be made to pay dearly for the crime.
    2. The Park Geun Hye group must sternly punish those involved in the allurement and abduction and backstage wire-pullers or hand them over to the law enforcement organ of the DPRK side and make assurances against the recurrence of similar crimes to the DPRK and the international community.
    In case those involved in the allurement and abduction and back-stage wire-pullers are neither handed over to the DPRK side nor punished, and no assurances are given against the recurrence of similar crimes, the DPRK will consider the recent case was committed at the direct instruction of Chongwadae and it is an expression of the intention to keep abducting DPRK citizens in the future, too, and will take thousand-fold retaliatory measures targeting Chongwadae.
    3. The Park Geun Hye group must clearly understand the will of the army and people of the DPRK to annihilate the enemies and must stop running riot.
    The DPRK will never remain an on-looker to our citizens falling victim to political conspiracy after being abducted in group in broad daylight and taken to such a veritable hell as south Korea.
    The infuriated army and people of the DPRK are closely following every movement of the puppet group.
    We will never tolerate the recent terrorist gangster-like act but will certainly force the criminals to pay a dear price.
    In case the Park group of traitors keeps DPRK citizens in custody, defying the just demand of the DPRK, the group will have to pay an unimaginably high price. -0-
