Japanese Imperialists Hit for Fabricating "Korea-Japan Protocol"
KCNA
Pyongyang, February 22 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today runs a signed article one hundred years after the Japanese imperialists fabricated a brigandish "Korea-Japan protocol" on February 23, 1904 in a bid to realize their military occupation and rule over Korea.
The article describes the protocol as a product of the pressure of the Japanese imperialists.
It cites detailed materials to prove that the protocol was a product of the violence, pressure and threat on the part of the Japanese imperialists.
The protocol was a criminal document of aggression that provided a "legal guarantee" for the military occupation of Korea under the signboard of "protection," it says, and goes on:
The Japanese imperialists secured a springboard to make Korea their virtual colony through the brigandish protocol.
They, basing themselves on it, rigged up "Five-Point Treaty of 1905" and fabricated "Korea-Japan Annexation Treaty" in 1910 to annex the territory of Korea.
Shunning the historical facts, the Japanese government is insisting on the "lawfulness" of those treaties.
Worse still, the right-wing reactionary forces of Japan assert that Korea-Japan annexation was chosen by Koreans and Japan agreed with various countries of the world.
From the beginning of the year the Japanese chief executive visited the "Yasukuni Shrine" and insisted on the dominium over Tok Islet, betraying the militaristic ambition for reconquest.
The Japanese reactionaries are seriously mistaken, however.
@The Korean people today are not what they were yesterday.
The Japanese reactionaries should put an immediate halt to the shameless distortion of history and honestly apologize and thoroughly compensate to the Korean people for their past crimes.
