Ri Jong Man, managing director of the Standing Council of the Korean Federation of Workers in Commerce in Japan, in his statement expressed his irrepressible resentment at the Lee group which committed such thrice-cursed crimes against the compatriots as defiling the socialist system in the DPRK and daring hurt the leadership of the DPRK.

The hideous provocation committed by traitor Lee Myung Bak is the height of treachery and anti-reunification crimes revealing his true colors as a hooligan who seeks indolence and power only, subservient to outside forces, while being utterly indifferent to the nation and reunification.

Kang Chu Ryon, chairperson of the Central Standing Committee of the Korean Democratic Women's Union in Japan, in a statement condemned Lee Myung Bak for staging saber-rattling for a war against the north, sticking to his confrontation stand with his call for "apology" and "dismantlement of nukes." He committed such hideous crime as hurting the leadership of the DPRK.

The statement warned the Lee group that he would come to know clearly what miserable fate he will face for his indelible crimes against the nation.

Jo Han Ju, chairman of the Central Standing Committee of the Union of Korean Teachers and School Clerks in Japan, said in his statement that criminals should be severely punished and the group of traitors be sternly judged by the nation.

The Korean teachers and school clerks in Japan will turn out as one in the struggle to frustrate the Lee group's moves to escalate the confrontation with the DPRK and mete out a stern judgment of history to it.
