A spokeswoman for the Central Committee of the Democratic Women's Union of Korea in a statement issued on Feb. 18 branded the group as ferocious killers and bitterly condemned them.

She said:

What happened in Ryongsan was tragic murder unprecedented in history and a hideous human rights abuse as the Lee "regime for the very rich" in south Korea imposed death on the majority of the working masses, unhesitatingly sacrificing their interests to serve a handful of privileged circles.

Since the man killing group of traitors burned evacuees to death it has prodded conservative media and the puppet prosecution into painting a wrong picture of the murder on the basis of all sorts of plots and misinformation and shifting the blame for the incident onto the victims and the participants in the sit-in strike.

This was clearly evidenced by the recent disclosure of the fact that "Chongwadae" directly issued an instruction to the puppet police to "cover up the tragedy in Ryongsan."

Even today the group of traitors, who are entirely to blame for the above-said tragedy, is brutally suppressing the people from all walks of life who demanded the punishment of the murderer, paying no heed to the bitter grief of the bereaved families including the women over the death of their dear husbands and sons and all other people in south Korea.

The true colors of the Lee group as a gang of fascist dictators without equals and man-killers have been brought to light.

It is the unanimous mindset of the people in the south Korean society that south Koreans can neither have democracy and right to existence guaranteed nor can their families survive as long as the traitor stays in power.

All the women in the DPRK will positively support and encourage the women and other people in south Korea in their struggle against Lee for independence, democracy and human rights and always keep pace with the ranks of resistance.
