The North Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued spiked criticism of South Korea for making an international issue of the forced repatriation of defectors on the international stage.

In a statement released by the ministry through Chosun Central News Agency yesterday, the North stated, “The traitorous Lee puppet faction is going around making a fuss about some kind of ‘defector’ problem in the international community these days, bringing it onto the international stage including the UN Human Rights Council and playing a foolhardy game of trying to internationalize conflict within one people.”

It continued, “With our reality before them, a bright future to which we are vigorously advancing as one, ten million men surrounding the leader, they are struggling, as if trying to grab the last straw after finding that all their ideas of ‘sudden collapse’ and ‘instability’ have turned to dust.”

“There is no fool on Earth who will listen to the death throes of group of traitors who are as good as already dead.”
