With such disgusting and mean rhetoric the Lee group tries to tarnish the image of the dignified DPRK, tighten international siege to it and, at the same time, erode the people's trust in socialist system in a bid to break the single-minded unity of its army and people, Rodong Sinmun Monday says in a bylined article.

The article goes on:

The Lee group is ridiculed by the world people for its worst human rights abuses. It is absurd for it to talk about "human rights" of someone.

During its term the group pursued unpopular rule unprecedented in history and anti-reunification policy of confrontation, thereby plunging south Korea into the extreme political chaos and the north-south relations into deadlock. Now it is dearly paying for such doings.

The conservative group's despicable and mean "human rights" campaign will more clearly reveal its nature of escalating confrontation with the fellow countrymen and committing all sorts of despicable acts.

Their anti-DPRK "human rights" campaign is a sinister move to quench the desire for reunification through alliance with the north mounting in south Korea.

What remains to be done now is to mete out thorough and merciless punishment to the Lee group of traitors now that it is openly exposing its long-running attempt for "unification of systems" while persistently conducting anti-DPRK campaign.
