S. Korean Puppet Authorities′ Crimes Committed for Three Years of Office under Fire

Pyongyang, April 8 (KCNA) -- The Central Committee of the Democratic Front for the Reunification of Korea published an indictment Friday disclosing the crimes the south Korean authorities committed for three years of their office ill-famed for lies and deception and the disastrous consequences entailed by them. 　According to it, the south Korean economy has become more stagnant and the people′s living deteriorated to an extreme pitch while irregularities and corruption and social vices have become rampant. Due to the economic bankruptcy the puppet government is saddled with debt amounting to 1 448.6 billion U.S. dollars, that of enterprises is 1 155 billion U.S. dollars and that of the inhabitants households more than 700 billion U.S. dollars. 　 There are at least 4.6 million unemployed people and more than 8.6 million under-employed people. 　Various kinds of taxes are on a steady increase. There are three million extremely poor households which eke out their living by a meal offered by charity bodies. The poor who make their living on a daily earning number ten million and the children who go without lunches number more than 1.2 million. 　 More than 7 million households or 38 percent of all of them live in rented rooms. There are 680 000 households that live in small rooms like hencoop, shacks, dugouts and cave-like places, left without any proper shelters. 　 1.25 million women find no other means but prostitution, unable to endure abject poverty. 　 42 persons commit suicides on a daily average due to the unbearable economic difficulties and destitution, topping the world list of suicide rate. 　 It has become clear that the most of 16 major economy policy commitments made by the puppet conservative group have no prospect of fulfillment. 　The "National Assembly", administration, prosecution and media have become a marionette serving the one-man dictatorship. 　Various repressive machines including the puppet National Intelligence Service have been dramatically reinforced while the political investigation has been revived and there reappeared the Paekgol Corps which earned an ill-fame in the days of the erstwhile military fascist dictatorial regime. 　The dissident groups have been purged en mass from the "government", public organs and different media organs. More than 10 000 public servants and over 19 000 personnel of public institutions have been expelled for the past three years. 　 The organizations and trade unions which had been formed as legal organizations under the previous regimes have been labeled illegal ones and the religious organizations that incurred the authorities′ displeasure have become targets of suppression after being branded as heretical ones. 　Thousands of demonstrators were wounded due to suppression and arrested for the past three years. 　The just struggles of workers for the right to existence have also been brutally suppressed. 　 The group has driven the inter-Korean relations into the worst catastrophe during the period. 　The moves of the group brought the contacts and exchanges to suspension though they had made good progress in an atmosphere of reconciliation and unity. 　The Red Cross humanitarian undertakings including the reunion of separated families and relatives have not been properly carried out due to the dishonest attitude of the group. 　It has brutally suppressed the reunification movement organizations, non-governmental organizations and personages that advocated reconciliation, unity and exchange and cooperation on charges of violation of the "National Security Law", a fascist law, after labeling them "pro-north" and "enemy-benefiting" organizations and persons and "spies." 　It has gone to extremes in its anti-DPRK confrontation rackets and moves for a war of aggression against the DPRK, blinded by its ambition to achieve "unification under liberal democracy" and take advantage of "contingency". 　What the seizure of power by the puppet group has brought the south Korean people is nothing but frustration, pain and sacrifices. 　The group is making last-ditch efforts to tone down the public anger now on the brink of explosion in a bid to tide over its serious ruling crisis. 　The more desperately the group pursues the fascist dictatorship and confrontation with fellow countrymen against the nation′s will, the earlier it will face its final destruction, warned the indictment. -0
