Reuters. 28 December 2002. North Korea Denounces U.S. in Rally. SEOUL -- North Korea said more than 10,000 people turned out at an anti-U.S. rally where officials denounced Washington over its demands that the communist state abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons. The state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said "citizens from all walks of life" gathered in the capital Pyongyang on Saturday to hear parliament vice-president Yang Hyong-sup and other officials denounce the United States. The official rally "called on all the Koreans to turn out in the sacred anti-U.S. resistance to drive the U.S. imperialist aggressors out of South Korea and resolutely frustrate the nuclear racket of the U.S. aimed to bring clouds of war to hang over the Korean nation," KCNA said. KCNA said the Pyongyang rally expressed "support and solidarity" with South Koreans who have escalated anti-U.S. protests over a road accident involving a U.S. Army vehicle in which two schoolgirls died. On Saturday, hundreds of South Koreans scuffled with police as they tried to hold a candlelit vigil near the U.S. Embassy. Organizers of the anti-U.S. protests say they plan to rally one million people in central Seoul on New Year's Eve to demand that President Bush make a direct apology to the country over the accident. ------------------------------------------- Macdonald Stainsby http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/rad-green http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/leninist-international -- In the contradiction lies the hope. --Bertholt Brecht _______________________________________________ Leninist-International mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/leninist-international
