The Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK), the Juche Idea Study Group of England(JISGE) , the UK Korean Friendship Association(UK KFA) and UK Preparatory Committee For the 2017 Gathering to Praise the Great Persons Born of Mt Paektu issued a joint statement in support of the right of the Democratic People's Republic to punish those who commit crimes against the socialist system .
  The Yankee imperialists have spread a silly rumour that the DPRK has arrested and detained American citizens in order to hold them "hostage" or use them as " bargaining chips " in negotiations . This is a truly ridiculous and crazy rumour spread by the US media which has no foundation whatsoever in reality . The DPRK has no need for "bargaining chips " in negotiations.
  The US citizens arrested are spies who planned to commit hostile acts and to undermine and destablise the socialist systme of the DPRK . It is the independent ,sovereign right  of the DPRK to arrest ,detain and put on trial those agents of imperialism and anti-people ,class enemies who conspire against the socialist system of the DPRK . What the arrests of the US citizens show is that the DPRK is upholding the dictatorship of the proletariat against class enemies and counter-revolutionaries.
