Troop dispatch to Iraqi war gets flak in S. Korea

KCNA

    Pyongyang, April 10 (KCNA) -- The Roman Catholic Human Rights Committee issued a statement on April 4 in denunciation of the decision made by the authorities to dispatch troops to the Iraqi war, according to Yonhap News of South Korea. The statement strongly accused the president and the national assembly of opting for an anti-peace and anti-human rights troop dispatch aimed to boost the South Korea-U.S. relations at the cost of blood shed by Iraqis and thus dampening the people's desire for reform and peace.
    It declared the committee would fully support the struggle of all the forces loving peace and opposing the Iraqi war and the troop dispatch and join them in their actions.
    The Christian Solidarity For Peace Against War in a statement issued on the same day said that it was shameful that the national assembly passed the motion on troop dispatch to the Iraqi war, declaring the passage of the motion invalid.
    The passage of the motion on the troop dispatch to the dirty and base war of aggression is little short of declaring the law invalid, noted the statement.
