Security Authorities' Crackdown upon S. Korean Progressive Body under Fire
Pyongyang, January 10 (KCNA) -- The emergency measure committee for foiling the case cooked up against the Solidarity for Implementing the South-North Joint Declaration of south Korea released a statement titled "We will more resolutely struggle against the suppression under the pretext of security" on Jan. 6.

The statement referred to the fact that the solidarity branded the suppression of the security authorities as a "retaliation against candlelight actions", a "plot to scrap the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration" and "case fabricated to tide over the ruling crisis," formed an emergency measure committee and has since staged a sit-in strike, called press conferences and conducted a hunger strike and a court struggle, etc.

The statement accused the security authorities of having resorted to such sinister moves as misinterpreting the time to form the above-said body in a bid to arrest the activities of the solidarity by invoking the "National Security Law" and branding even its participation in the legal event for the south-north non-governmental exchange as a violation of "the NSL provision on entry and meeting" and "contact."

The security authorities are working hard to escalate the moves for fabricating the case to label the above-said body an "enemy-benefiting organization" as the truth behind the illegal investigation conducted by the security authorities has become gradually clear.

Terming the plot of the security authorities to hype the above-said case an artifice to justify the moves of the Lee Myung Bak regime for confrontation with fellow countrymen and its dictatorial policy, the statement declared the solidarity would wage a more dynamic struggle to foil the plot of Lee and the security authorities to disorganize and destroy the above-said body.
