Support for Iraqi war protested in S. Korea

KCNA

    Pyongyang, March 25 (KCNA) -- Civic and public organizations in South Korea are strongly protesting against the authorities' support to the Iraqi war, according to KBS from Seoul. On March 21, members of four civic and public organizations, including the Citizens Federation for Economic Justice, made public a statement in front of the Sejong Cultural Hall in Seoul in protest against the authorities' support to the Iraqi war.
    Over 700 university professors affiliated to the South Korean professors union and members of the Democratic Workers' Party strongly urged the "National Assembly" to reject a "bill on troop dispatch", contending that the authorities deserve to be condemned for its mobilization of the people in the unjust war ignited by the United States.
    The South Korean People's Solidarity grouping 45 civic and public organizations and the South Korean Council of Professors for Democracy, too, called a press conference on the same day, at which they held that the authorities' support to the Iraqi war should be stopped at once.
    Meanwhile, medical workers organizations of South Korea are staging a signature campaign in protest against the authorities' decision to support the Iraqi war.
