Anti-DPRK Subversive Activities Assailed

Pyongyang, July16 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea issued the following statement Monday:

The south Korean puppet regime, not content with hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK, infiltrated defectors to the south to the DPRK being assigned duties of subversive activities and sabotage.

According to a relevant institution, it detected and arrested those who were going to destroy statues and monuments in the DPRK at the instructions of the south Korean intelligence agency.

The criminals, defectors to the south who betrayed their homeland, confessed that they were bribed by the U.S. and the intelligence agency into doing sordid subversive activities and sabotage.

All witnesses and material data available prove that not only the intelligence agency but the U.S. have been deeply involved in it and the U.S. directly approved and spearheaded the operation.

This was a hideous terrorist act against the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK and a serious state-sponsored terrorism in breach of international law. This proves that the U.S. and the puppet regime have gone reckless in their subversive activities and sabotage against the DPRK.

The regime in league with the U.S. has so far allured and abducted DPRK residents and carried them to south Korea to use them for anti-DPRK smear campaign. Now it is even prodding wicked defectors to the south to intrude into the DPRK and conduct serious subversive activities and sabotage.

With strong U.S. backing, the south Korean intelligence and plot-breeding organizations rallied traitors and set up anti-DPRK terrorist organizations specializing in all kinds of subversive activities and sabotage. They are now providing them with huge funds and even subversive and sabotage means and infiltrating them into countries around the DPRK and areas close to the northern border aimed at terrorist acts against the DPRK.

The recent criminal case is an extension of the hideous provocation against the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK and the height of confrontation racket.

The U.S. and the puppet regime are seriously mistaken if they think they can stir up people's mindset and undermine the single-minded unity of the DPRK through such sordid subversive activities and sabotage.

No hostile forces can ever break the single-minded unity of the DPRK no matter the earth breaks apart and the sky falls.

Whoever tries to hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership which the Koreans look up to like Heaven will never be able to evade stern punishment.

The U.S. and the puppet regime's anti-DPRK subversive activities and sabotage are bound to meet shameful defeat, exposed by the sharp watchful eyes and vigilance of the army, people and security men replete with the spirit of devotedly defending the leader and annihilating the enemy.

Should the U.S. and the puppet regime persist in hideous terrorist actions against the DPRK, they will be made to own full responsibility for the ensuing consequences. -0-
