Pyongyang, March 2 (KCNA) -- The Society of People Working for Peace and Reunification, the Council for National Reconciliation and Independent Reunification, the headquarters of the Movement for Return of the U.S. Military Base in Ryongsan and other civic organizations of South Korea reportedly held the 23rd rally for peace and disarmament in front of the building of the Defence Ministry on Feb. 26.
Im Jong Chol, co-representative of the society, and Kim Sung Guk, chairman of its policy-making committee, said that the U.S. is raising a hue and cry over the "nuclear issue of the north" to invent a pretext for a new war on the Korean Peninsula, and strongly lashed out at the U.S. persistent war preparations.
Kim Chong Il, co-executive chairman of the headquarters, noted that the "joint land management plan" is only intended to drastically increase the combat capability of the U.S. troops in South Korea as it has reflected none of the demands of the South Korean people for the return of the U.S. bombing ranges in Maehyang-ri and other places, restoration of polluted bases to their original state, etc.
The participants in the rally in a resolution stressed that the shameful South Korea-U.S. military alliance should be broken as early as possible in conformity with the demand of the changed times when the spirit for inter-Korean reconciliation and reunification is rapidly growing.
