Despicable Blackmail, Appeasement and Agitation Maneuvers encouraging "Defection from the North"

The anti-DPRK smear campaign by the south Korean authorities focuses on an operation of encouragement of "defection from the north" among the DPRK citizens working abroad.

The south Korean authorities, filled with antagonism and hostility against the fellow countrymen in the north, commit all kinds of reckless inhumane atrocities, clamoring about "all-out offensive" to instigate the DPRK citizens to defect to the south. 

This year, in particular, the maneuvers of the south Korean authorities to allure and abduct the DPRK citizens abroad has reached the unprecedented level in its shabbiness and viciousness.

Traitor Park Geun Hye at her address marking "Armed Forces Day" in October 2016 made the reckless remarks openly agitating the DPRK inhabitants to "defect to the south". It shows clearly that south Korea's agitation for "defection" has reached the climax.

Today the south Korean Intelligence Service is desperate to massively spread publications, letters, CDs and USBs vilifying and slandering the supreme leadership and the social system and agitating "defection to the south" by postal matters and e-mails targeting the DPRK diplomatic and trade missions, its officials and their family members.

Following the guidelines of the psychological tricky propaganda of the south Korean Intelligence Service, Kang Chol Hwan, the so-called "representative of the Center for the Strategy on North Korea", continues to send the magazine of "Yosong Joson "(Korea Women) to tens of the DPRK missions abroad, with his handwritten letters and SD cards, inserted in the magazines, slandering our social system and agitating for "defection to the south", in the disguised name of the "General Association of Korean Residents in China" during the period of September and November in 2016 alone.

On October 5th, 2016, Mun Chol Ung, who betrayed the nation and defected to south Korea, turned up in India, accompanied with the several south Korean Intelligence Service agents, and made several phone calls to his former Korean acquaintances working in New Delhi and tried to coax them to defect to south Korea.

In August and September 2016 in Cambodia, an agent of the south Korean Intelligence Service approached several times to a DPRK citizen who was due to return home after his tenure of office and tried to coax him to defect to south Korea. When his attempt was in vain, the agent impudently did not hesitate to threaten and blackmail the DPRK citizen.

The competitive alluring operations committed by the south Korean agents abroad targeting the DPRK citizens have resulted in such an inhuman crime like a group abduction of our women workers, which took place in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, China in April 2016.

The south Korean authorities disguised the group abduction, an unpardonable crime against humanity, as "group defection" to justify the "justness" and "effectiveness" of their "one-sided policy of pressure on the north".

Scared that their crime of abduction would be revealed, the south Korean authorities still keep the women abductees away from the press and media and continue to violate human rights while ignoring the abductees parents' demand to visit Seoul and proposals for their meetings.

As a result, the parents and families of the abductees, who have lost their lovely daughters in broad daylight, not at wartime, are numbed with grief and shock, struggling to know their whereabouts. No such a case is found in the world today and it is really the most serious case of human rights abuses.

Acts of agitation of "defection to the south" by south Korea are nothing but a large-scale wanton violation of human rights aimed at separating the other DPRK citizens just like the women abductees from both their fatherland and flesh and blood.

The south Korean authorities are now making a fuss about the adoption of a report of the Office of UNHCR on the issue of separated families and relatives and its immediate implementation. But, in fact the south Korean authorities are trying to deceive the world by pretending that they are really concerned about the resolution of the humanitarian matters between the north and the south.

It is presumptuous that the main culprits, who have abducted the DPRK citizens by appeasement and deception thus creating a new issue of separated families and relatives in the 21st century, talk about the resolution of the issue of the 20th century. They are the most shameless criminals hardly found in the world.
