April 19 declaration issued in S. Korea

KCNA

    Pyongyang, April 22 (KCNA) -- The group of chairmen of General Student Councils of 64 Universities of South Korea including Korea University, Kyunghee University, Duksung Women's University and Sogang University held a press conference at Dongguk University on April 19 and issued an "April 19 Declaration" demanding an immediate stop to the U.S. Iraqi war and the withdrawal of the decision on troop dispatch to it, Yonhap News from Seoul said. Humankind is so strongly opposed to the U.S. war because it is an unjust war of genocide and a reckless war to hold world supremacy by dint of the "policy of strength", the declaration said, and noted:
    We will oppose the decision of the "government" and the "National Assembly" to dispatch troops, going against the people's will, and struggle till the day it is cancelled so that young people in this land are not hurled into that war of genocide.
    The declaration stressed that they would make June 13 when a memorial service will be held one year after schoolgirls Mi Son and Hyo Sun were brutally killed by a U.S. armored car a "day of student action" to encourage 3 million students to rise up in a campaign against the U.S. war which will claim lives of so many young people like the schoolgirls.
