KCNA Commentary on Sexual Assaults by GIs

Pyongyang, October 12 (KCNA) -- It was recently disclosed that soldiers of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces in south Korea committed brutal sexual assaults against teenage schoolgirls in Tongduchon of Kyonggi Province and Mapho District of Seoul.

GIs have committed countless violence in south Korea.

But the sexual assaults perpetrated by GIs against an old woman and teenage school girls make all the fellow countrymen shudder.

Even south Korean media deplored the sexual assaults were too cruel to open them to press, adding: What do the ceaseless grave sexual assaults occurring in south Korea tell?

In this regard, the U.S. hastily expressed "apology and regrets" unusually. It made an excuse that the criminal was overdrunken.

Did the ceaseless sexual assaults occur by "mistakes"?

The incidents were not accidental ones committed by individual lechers. They are an inevitable outcome of the U.S. military presence and colonial rule over south Korea.

The history of the U.S. forces' presence in south Korea is a bloodstained history of crimes, as they have brought immeasurable misfortunes and disasters to the Korean nation.

Not a single day has passed in south Korea without plunder, murder, rape and violence since the U.S. forces occupied it.

The bestial atrocities committed by the U.S. imperialist aggressor troops against south Korean women, in particular, are unprecedented in the world.

Their atrocities that make all Koreans shudder include the hair-cutting of a woman in Tongduchon, painting of a woman in Uijongbu, sexual assault against a six-year-old girl, murder of Yun Kum I and the killing of two schoolgirls Sin Hyo Sun and Sim Mi Son. These atrocities committed by murderers and lechers without parallels made even animals blush.

Such atrocities are repeating themselves still now.

What should not be overlooked is that the south Korean authorities dodged the probe into the truth about those cases and handed the GI criminals to the U.S. forces side without detaining or punishing them.

The group of traitors have been so cruel towards fellow countrymen but are conniving at the GI crimes, submissive to the U.S. while keeping mum about its barbarities. This is another act of treachery and mockery of the nation.

The south Korean people can never live in peace even a single day under the jack boots of the aggressors as long as the U.S. forces are present in south Korea.

The U.S. forces, the root cause of misfortunes and sufferings of the south Korean people, should pull out of south Korea as early as possible.
