Japanese Rightwing Threat to Koreans Condemned in S. Korea
Pyongyang, April 2 (KCNA) -- The Council for the Solution of the Issue of the Volunteers' Corps of south Korea issued a statement on March 29 in denunciation of Japanese rightwing gangsters' threat to Koreans.

The statement accused Japanese rightwing gangsters of sending notices together with daggers to the governor of Hyogo Prefecture and Kobe Korean High School threatening to kill Koreans and set fire to the school. This is a retaliation against the governor of the prefecture who expressed the view that Korean schools should be included in the tuition-free program for senior high schools, it said, and went on:

What matters is that those human rights abuses of the gangsters are not subject to any sanctions and punishment as is the case with the rightwing politicians of Japan insisting on discrimination against the Koreans.

The statement urged the Japanese government not to remain an onlooker to the recent criminal act of the rightwing gangsters.
