Pyongyang, March 11 (KCNA) -- Figures and citizens of different social standings in South Korea participating in the candlelight procession on March 5, 100 days after the candlelight demonstration staged at Kwanghwamun in Seoul, renewed their faith and will to settle accounts with the U.S. imperialists.
They have staged candlelight demonstrations every night to have their 4-point demand including the punishment of GI killers at the South Korean court, Bush's open personal apology and the total revision of the unequal South Korea-U.S. "Status of Forces Agreement," etc. met.
They were interviewed by the Thongil News.
Figures from all walks of life including Jin Kwan, permanent co-representative of the All-People Measure Committee for Sin Hyo Sun and Sim Mi Son, Schoolgirls Killed by a U.S. Armored Car, stated that candles should remain burning until the U.S. troops have gone back home, noting that they should restore the independence and dignity of the Korean nation through candlelight processions at any cost.
Pointing out that the will of the people to restore sovereignty and put an end to the unequal relations between South Korea and the U.S. is reflected in the 100 day-long candlelight demonstration, they said that they would hold candlelights higher in the future, too, to achieve national independence, avert a war and see peace settled on the Korean Peninsula.
