Prompt Repatriation of DPRK Women Citizens Urged: Spokesman of C.C, DPRK Red Cross Society

A spokesman for the Central Committee of the DPRK Red Cross Society Friday made public a statement on the lapse of 10 months since women citizens of the DPRK were allured and abducted to south Korea by the Park Geun Hye group.

Noting that 12 women citizens of the DPRK in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province of China were allured and abducted in broad daylight to south Korea in April last year, the statement said: The DPRK strongly demanded that south Korea unconditionally repatriate the abducted women citizens in safe when agents of the Intelligence Service and the south Korean authorities including the Foreign Ministry committed the surprise terrorist act on the order of the witch of Chongwadae. However, Park Geun Hye and the puppet group continued to commit unpardonable crimes without hesitation, far from making apology for such heinous abduction and repatriating the women citizens to the north.

They disregarded the strong demand of the families of the abductees for face-to-face meeting with their daughters in Seoul, talking about "group defection according to their free will." They have detained the abductees in solitary cells away from contact with outside, imposing mental and physical sufferings, torment, appeasement and deception, threats and blackmail to force defection upon them. 

They refused to comply with the demand for face-to-face meeting with the women citizens under the absurd pretence "personal safety" of their families. And they did not send those women to the closed-door trial staged by a court of south Korea which went through necessary procedures, terming it "dancing to the tune of the north's assertion about abduction" and finally aborting the trial. They are dealing the issue of safety of the abductees as top secret, prompted by their sinister intention to keep the truth about their crime buried into oblivion forever.

Their abduction and custody of DPRK women citizens are an unpardonable violation of dignity and sovereignty of the DPRK and a heinous inhumane crime against human rights as they deliberately "divided families".

The nation will never pardon the south Korean puppet group's inhumane and traitorous acts of forcing the parents and their children to live separated from each other and reducing the abductees to victims of their operation to escalate the confrontation with the compatriots.
