Troop dispatch to Iraqi war flayed in S. Korea
KCNA
Pyongyang, April 8 (KCNA) -- South Korean organizations are strongly protesting against the authorities' measure for troop dispatch to the Iraqi war.
The south headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification in a statement on April 3 denounced the "motion on the troop dispatch" the authorities railroaded through the South Korean "National Assembly," taking advantage of the U.S. Iraqi war of genocide as something not understandable.
The statement said this is an act of giving up their stand to realize peace on the Korean Peninsula.
It called for foiling the U.S. nuclear racket and its moves to escalate the tensions on the Korean Peninsula through a struggle to force the U.S. to conclude a non-aggression treaty with the DPRK.
The reunification solidarity for implementing the June 15 South-North Joint Declaration and peace on the Korean Peninsula in a statement on the same day said that the recent decision to dispatch troops to the war is a criminal act of providing a new pretext to justify the U.S. war and it would never tolerate the authorities' irresponsible measure of supporting it.
Meanwhile, a meeting titled "day of students' action for stopping U.S. Iraqi war, repealing measure for troop dispatch and removing war danger on the Korean Peninsula" was held in Seoul on April 4 under the co-sponsorship of the (South) Korean Federation of University Student Councils and the Youth and Student Committee against War with over 1,000 students attending.
At the meeting speakers said that troop dispatch can be checked only through their direct action, calling for successfully staging a student strike against war scheduled on April 11.
At another meeting held in its wake speakers called on all students across South Korea to boycott lectures and turn out to streets on April 11 in protest against the barbarous war and gather in front of the city office on April 12, the "day of global peace against war."
The youth and student solidarity for implementing the June 15 South-North Joint Declaration in a statement on April 4 said that it is strongly opposed to the authorities' measure for troop dispatch as it has no other meaning than helping warmonger Bush and is little short of supporting the supremacy and self-justified act of the U.S. which infringed upon the sovereignty of Iraq.
