The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Monday accused the Republic of Korea (ROK) of committing crimes to destroy the inter-Korea relations and demanded it to apologize.  

The Committee of Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland of the DPRK issued a paper named Liquidation of the Current South Korean Government's Crimes Against Reunification and enumerated ten crimes of the ROK government since it's inauguration.

"The South Korean government's activities since its inauguration are completely contrary to its promise," said the paper.

The listed crimes including "forbidding folk groups in the South to mourn Kim Il-sung at his tenth death anniversary; abducting over 400 people of DPRK to the South; cutting off over 300 Internet site connections with the DPRK" and "seeking secret nuke development."

"The ten crimes are principal issues concerning to the dignity and system of the DPRK, and the fate of the reunification and nation," said the paper.

The paper said "the South Korean government must apologize" and "the future of the inter-Korean relations depends on this."
