Pyongyang, November 10 (KCNA) -- A spokesman of the Consultative Council for National Reconciliation in a statement Friday hit out at the south Korean puppet forces for staging the farce of "international film festival for human rights in the north" in Seoul.

Those who flocked to the festival were without exception pseudo-moviepersons from south Korea and the West who act as a shock brigade in denying the reality of the DPRK, at the instigation of the U.S. and with the financial support from it, the statement said, and went on:

The puppet forces even let "defectors from the north" take part in the festival, fanning up the atmosphere of confrontation with the fellow countrymen in the north.

Their "human rights" racket is an outright challenge and a serious politically-motivated provocation to the dignity and the social system in the DPRK.

This treachery of pushing the confrontation with the fellow countrymen to the extremes under the backstage manipulation of the U.S. is absolutely intolerable.

What should not be overlooked is that the rubbish-like films justifying the hideous crimes against humanity such as the illegal abduction of DPRK citizens were openly screened in the center of Seoul at the tacit connivance of the present puppet authorities allegedly speaking for "candlelight demonstrators".

The confrontation burlesque dubbed "international film festival for human rights in the north" which Lee Myung Bak and Park Geun Hye group of traitors used to hold has been carried forward. This clearly proves that the group of past conservatives and the present ruling authorities are all the same group of traitors and criminals inciting confrontation with the fellow countrymen.

The puppet authorities do not hesitate to hold the racket for "human rights" campaign to do harm to the DPRK, at the end of getting zealous in their moves to provoke a nuclear war against the north and to put sanctions on it while following the U.S. as a shaggy dog.

The army and people of the DPRK will never tolerate the puppet authorities and the organizations hatching plots against the DPRK and kicking up the racket over "human rights" in the north as they slander and hurt the dignity and social system in the DPRK, which represent the lifeline of its army and people.

The puppet authorities should not run amuck, bearing in mind that their acts of following in the footsteps of the group of conservatives and traitors being pursuant to the U.S. will be rejected by the people and face a bitter final ruin. -0-
