Anti-war declaration released in S. Korea
KCNA
Pyongyang, February 22 (KCNA) -- The Students Anti-War Committee reportedly held a press conference and released an anti-war declaration in front of the U.S. embassy on Feb. 12.
The committee groups the Seoul district federation of university student councils, the South Korean Christian Youth and Students Federation, the Students Committee of the Democratic Workers' Party and 10 other students organizations.
In the declaration the committee voiced opposition to the U.S. moves to start a war against Iraq so as to put oil resources under its control, vowing to struggle for an end to the U.S. war hysteria.
Noting that the U.S. moves for the Iraqi war and threat to the DPRK are throwing East Asia into serious uneasiness, the organization urged the government to reject the U.S. request for the dispatch of forces to the war.
Underscoring the need to conduct a widespread anti-war campaign based on international solidarity to foil the U.S. war attempt, speakers at the conference declared that the organization would launch a fiercer protest campaign if the U.S. provokes the Iraqi war.
