Japanese Reactionaries' Anti-Chongryon Moves Accused

Pyongyang, February 27 (KCNA) -- Recently the Japanese police gangsters arrested the manager of a Korean trading company under the pretext of "illegal export" to the DPRK. This is the intentional and premeditated political provocation to defame the authority and image of the dignified General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) and intensify oppression and suppression of it. Rodong Sinmun Saturday says this in a commentary. Noting that it is the main method of the Japanese reactionaries for suppressing Chongryon to often storm its institutions and search them as if they uncovered a big criminal organization, the commentary goes on: The recent reckless acts vividly show wickedness and baseness peculiar to Japan and the turbulent political climate in Japan influenced by national chauvinism to justify its criminal moves to stifle Chongryon by widely spreading anti-Chongryon opinion in the whole society of Japan. The Japanese reactionaries would be well advised to think twice about the grave consequences to be entailed by their despicable anti-Chongryon moves. -0-
