Anti-DPRK Human Rights Rubbish by Director of "UN Human Rights Office" in Seoul Blasted

  Pyongyang, January 12 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Korea Association for Human Rights Studies gave the following answer to the question raised by KCNA Thursday in connection with the fact that the director of the "UN Human Rights Office" in Seoul faulted the non-existent human rights issue in the DPRK:
    The director, when interviewed by the British Daily Star on January 8, spouted rubbish that now there is hardly any testimonies by those who had been imprisoned at concentration camps, by those who had escaped from the camp recently, in particular, and that there is great restriction in counting on testimonies made by those who escaped from the camp.
    This is a prejudiced act of openly siding with the U.S. and its vassal forces' moves to stifle the DPRK under the pretext of non-existent "human rights" issue of the DPRK.
    The "UN Human Rights Office" in south Korea, the world's worst tundra of human rights, serves as a means for executing the U.S. policy for stifling the DPRK and is a den for anti-DPRK campaign which collects false data cooked up by "defectors" under political duress and in order to make money.
    It has long been disclosed that those "defectors" hurled into the anti-DPRK smear campaign are bete noires who can not make their living without making false "testimonies", and it is ridiculous for those who betrayed their own homeland and beloved parents and kinsmen to make any "testimonies".
    The director of the "Office" said that they could no longer get "testimonies" from the "defectors". This is self acknowledgement of the fact that the hostile forces have so far conducted anti-DPRK "human rights" campaign in full reliance on "testimonies" made by the "defectors" and that the farce of collecting and using "testimonies" has now become tattered.
    We will never tolerate any one politicizing human rights by using "testimonies" of "defectors" nor deal with them. -0-
