Repeal of bills on "emergency" demanded
KCNA
Pyongyang, May 26 (KCNA) -- The Alliance of South Koreans in Japan for Democracy and Unification, the South Korean Youth League in Japan and other organizations under the South Korean Residents Association in Japan on May 15 released a joint statement demanding Japan repeal the bills allegedly intended to cope with "emergency" which causes Asian people's apprehension and worry about its conversion into a military power and overseas dispatch of the "self-defence forces".
The joint statement referred to the dangerous nature of the bills, noting that the bills which passed through the house of representatives of the diet are war laws intended to attack somebody.
The Koreans in Japan still remember all forms of suppression and persecution by the Japanese authorities they experienced on the eve of the June 25 war more than 50 years ago and the on-going "anti-north campaign" in Japan reminds them of those times, it said, and stressed:
What the Japanese government and diet should do is to respect the sovereignty of other nations and develop friendship with them and seek a peaceful solution to all issues through dialogue with the DPRK, not favoring the hostile policy of the United States.
