Rodong Sinmun Accuses S. Korea of "Spy Ring Case" Fabrication

Pyongyang, August 8 (KCNA) -- The south Korean authorities' fabrication of the "spy ring case" is a premeditated plot to harshly suppress and stamp out the pro-reunification movement organizations and progressive figures by linking them to the DPRK.
Rodong Sinmun Monday observes this in a bylined commentary.
Whenever the successive dictators of south Korea found themselves in their extreme ruling crisis, they cooked up "spy ring cases" in a bid to divert public attention elsewhere and justify their suppression of progressive forces, the commentary notes, and goes on:
The "National Assembly election" and the "presidential election" are expected to take place in south Korea next year. They aim to take these elections as platforms for throwing overboard those conservative forces for having enforced a misrule quite contrary to public mind-set.
Thrown into the abyss of utter isolation and ruin, they are seeking a way out of it in orchestrating a shocking "case."
The south Korean public is now becoming increasingly vocal demanding the authorities make a switchover in their anachronistic "policy toward the north" as required by the trend of the times and opting for mending the inter-Korean relations. This case is aimed to throw a wet blanket over the public calling for the improved inter-Korean relations and justify their existing stand.
