Stop Fascist Suppression on Pro-reunification Movement Organizations!

Stop Fascist Suppression on Pro-reunification Movement Organizations!



As was reported, the “National Intelligence Service” and the police authorities of south Korea kicked off forced searches of the South Headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country’s Reunification, its local offices and the houses of their members on May 7, confiscated lots of documents, publications and computers, and arrested and took to the police station cadres of the organization including the chairman, executive director and head of the propaganda department of the South Headquarters.

They also conducted wholesale searches of the houses of the core members of the north Chungcheong provincial branch of the National Federation of Peasants Associations, the north Chungcheong provincial headquarters of the Solidarity for Realizing the June 15 South-North Joint Declaration and the chairman of the policy committee of the Democratic Labor Party, and the offices of the Council of Youth Organizations of south Korea, the Wonju Youth Society and the Chuncheon Youth Society, and arrested several persons.

The frenzied moves of search, confiscation and arrest by the Lee Myong-bak group against the progressive forces including the pro-reunification organizations are a really grave event unheard-of since June 15, 2000, and a criminal act never to be overlooked.

These moves are an undisguised declaration of war aiming to clean up all the patriotic pro-reunification forces desirous of defending and implementing the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration and crack down on their righteous activities, and unpardonable anti-reunification fascist acts that further aggravate the north-south confrontation.

As far as the South Headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country’s Reunification is concerned, it is a leading force of the south Korean people's movement for independence, democracy and reunification, and a staunch patriotic pro-reunification organization which has weathered the suppression and persecution of the anti-reunification forces since its formation, and waged the bloody struggle for the national unity and reunification.

Nevertheless, the Lee group of traitors suppressed the south headquarters and other patriotic pro-reunification organizations by absurdly condemning them as “pro-north leftist forces” which hail the “system in the north” and receive the “north’s instructions”, and launched the madcap suppression campaigns wielding the notorious “National Security Law”.

Traitor Lee Myong-bak should retract at once the labeling of the pro-reunification movement organizations as “organizations benefiting the enemy” and immediately release those who were unlawfully arrested, plainly aware of the trend of the times which dynamically advances towards independent reunification upholding the banner of “By Our Nation Itself”.

The AINDF and the patriotic people of all strata will more vigorously wage the struggle in firm solidarity to abolish the “National Security Law”, an anti-democratic, anti-human rights and anti-reunification evil law, and to frustrate the suppression moves of traitor Lee against the pro-reunification movement.
