Jail sentences on pro-reunification champions flayed
Pyongyang, February 20 (KCNA) -- The South Korean authorities sentenced
to prison terms the
representatives of the south headquarters of the National Alliance for the
Country's Reunification, the National
Alliance for Democracy and Reunification and the South Korean Federation of
University Student Councils for
participating in the '99 Grand Pro-reunification Festival and the 10th
Pan-national Rally.
Minju Joson today in a signed commentary assails this hideous step as
an unpardonable anti-reunification,
anti-national fascist action to dampen the desire of the fellow countrymen
for national reconciliation, unity and
reunification and block the road of reunification.
The visit of pro-reunification envoys to Pyongyang and their
participation in pro-reunification events were
aimed to realize a meeting of the three parties of Koreans in the north,
south and overseas, so as to share sufferings
resulting from the division and pool their strength and will and seek ways
of achieving reunification, the
commentary notes, and goes on: They are by no means offenders and there is
no reason to punish them.
The legal action taken against the pro-reunification patriots indicates
that the South Korean authorities' talk
about "reconciliation" and "cooperation" is nothing but a deceptive jargon
and it is aimed at quelling the desire for
reunification growing stronger among people as days go by and inciting
confrontation with the north.
The South Korean rulers should immediately stop fascist actions to
punish the pro-reunification patriots and
release without delay those illegally detained patriotic people.
GIs' criminal atrocities condemned
Pyongyang, February 20 (KCNA) -- The truth about U.S.'s massacres of
civilians in Rogun-ri, Yongdong
county, North Chungchong Province, and Masan, Changnyong and Sachon of
South Kyongsang Province, and
Phyongthaek, Kyonggi Province, and other areas in South Korea during the
last Korean War has been fully
disclosed recently by documents preserved at the U.S. national archives and
the declassified documents of the U.S.
military and testimonies made by ex-soldiers of the U.S. aggression troops
who participated in the war, and South
Korean victims and eyewitnesses. This has touched off indignation of the
Korean people and human conscience.
The investigation committee of the democratic front for the
reunification of the fatherland, which was organized
at the outset of the Fatherland Liberation War to investigate and record
GIs' criminal atrocities, issued indictment no.
1 on February 19 to inform the world of part of those crimes investigated
and confirmed over the last 50 years.
The indictment deals with the massacres committed by the U.S. from June
25 to early August, 1950.
The indictment cites dates and places, etc, to accuse the U.S.
aggressors of killing many peaceable civilians,
destroying or reducing to ashes houses and properties and leveling to the
ground great many schools, hospitals and
theatres and other cultural establishments and peaceful industrial
facilities in the northern half of the DPRK by
indiscriminate bombing and bombardment from the first day of the Korean War.
The indictment says:
In the period from June 25, 1950 when the Korean War broke out to early
August of the same year the U.S.
aggressors killed over 10,730 peaceable civilians, destroyed or reduced to
ashes 14,119 houses and razed to the
ground more than 100 cultural establishments and peaceful industrial
factories in the North Korea.
All these facts go to clearly prove that the brutal massacres and
indiscriminate destruction committed by the
U.S. in the past Korean War are the indelible crimes against humanity and
they are ogres in human skin and
chieftains of aggression, plunder and destruction and the sworn enemy of
the Korean people.
We will surely make the U.S. aggressors pay for the criminal atrocities
committed during the Korean War in
order to protect the dignity of the nation.
