Traitorous court decision assailed

KCNA

    Pyongyang, July 18 (KCNA) -- The Seoul district court of South Korea has decided to impose jail terms of one year and fine on those who held a demonstration at a U.S. military base. The demonstrators had protested the verdict of acquittal given to the GIs who killed two schoolgirls last year rejecting this decision as an act of treachery that could be perpetrated only by traitors to the nation, Minju Joson today says in a commentary: As the murder of the schoolgirls was an unpardonable crime, the U.S. imperialists' verdict of acquittal was a mockery and insult to the South Korean people urging the punishment of the murderers, a probe into the truth behind the case and apology and compensation for the murder.
    That was why all the Koreans had condemned the U.S. for such verdict and those anti-U.S. demonstrators thronged into the U.S. military base to protest it.
    Their action in the base was a patriotic and righteous deed intended to wreak vengeance of the slain girls and retake the dignity of the nation.
    If the Seoul district court had had a proper vision, it would have duly supported and protected those protesters.
    The interests and destiny of the people can never be protected and they can not live in peace even a day as long as there are those who fawn and depend on the U.S. imperialists in South Korea. The South Korean judicial authorities should refrain from going against the mind-set of the people.
