Pyongyang, April 29 (KCNA) -- The National Reunification Institute
and the Measure Council for Human Rights in South Korea released a white
paper Tuesday to inform the public at home and abroad of the poor human
rights record in south Korea, a product of the U.S. colonial rule and
the puppet forces' unpopular rule.
All fields of south Korea including politics, economy, military and
culture are entirely dependent on the U.S., the white paper says, and
goes on:
The U.S. regard south Koreans as no more than ducks in water,
pheasants in the mountains and rats in fields. GIs consider south Korean
women as no more than sexual playthings.
The U.S.-led foreign monopoly capital accounts for 30 percent of the
south Korean stock market and big businesses and banks hold more than
50 percent of stocks, swaying over the south Korean economy. They rake
in profits running to billions of U.S. dollars from stock dividends only
every year.
The U.S. monopoly capital stalks in south Korea, making businesses
of south Korea go bankrupt and its people languish in unemployment and
poverty.
Onrush of excessive agricultural products from the U.S. threatens the local farmers numbering more than 2.8 million.
The U.S. built military bases in different parts of south Korea and
has staged madcap military exercises. This has deprived south Koreans of
their cradle of life, devastating farmland, taking their lives and
doing harm to human bodies and polluting environment.
Young and middle-aged south Koreans are taken off as cannon fodder of the U.S. in its wars of aggression.
There is no land in the world except for south Korea which is
suffering such humiliation as offering funds as upkeep of the foreign
occupation forces.
South Koreans have no place where they may complain even though they
are deprived of everything by the U.S. and their rights violated by it.
Human rights are more crudely violated due to the puppet forces' medieval, tyrannical and unpopular rule.
Political freedom and democratic rights are mercilessly infringed upon, among other things.
The progressive party that made a legitimate appearance was forced
to be disbanded, after being labeled "forces following the north" and a
lawmaker from an opposition party was walked away from the "NA" building
in broad daylight, on the charge of his alleged involvement in an
"attempted rebellion."
In the eight months of the present regime more than 23 790 articles
were deleted from internet site for being "articles following the
north", and hundreds of internet sites were forced to shut down.
People demanding the right to existence were harshly suppressed.
When workers in the field of railways staged a strike against the
de-nationalization of railways at the end of last year, the fascist
authorities hurled at least 5 000 police of over 60 companies to put it
down the way they conducted an "anti-terrorist operation". They even
stormed the building of the south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions
without a confiscation and search warrant and walked off more than 130
people.
The puppet forces' unpopular rule deteriorated the living of south
Koreans from all walks of life, forcing them to undergo unspeakable
sufferings.
The number of the unemployed has reached over 4.5 million and that
of underemployed who do part-time jobs for low wages for a day or a few
months almost 10 million. People accounting for 11-19 percent suffer
from chronic malnutrition.
The number of those who commit suicides is more than 40 a day, topping the world list.
Over 1.1 million or 20 percent of the aged roam about in the
streets, begging for food or rummaging garbage bins, being forsaken by
society and their children.
Children kill their parents in cold blood for money and all other
kinds of crimes including murder, rape and robbery are prevalent in
south Korea.
The south Korean puppet group's terrorism and abduction are another example of serious human rights abuses.
It is working with bloodshot eyes to conduct terrorism and abduction
of citizens of the DPRK by mobilizing the Intelligence Service, the
Foreign Ministry, Unification Ministry and all other plot-breeding
organizations. This unprecedented man-hunting is being commanded by
Chongwadae.
Agents of the puppet Intelligence Service and such anti-DPRK
plot-breeding organizations including "Missionary Council of Duri Hana",
"Good Friends" and "Association for Improving Human Rights in North"
and terrorists and agents who go under the masks of religionists,
businessmen and philanthropists, financed by the puppet authorities, go
on the rampage in the northeastern area of China, abducting and luring
citizens of the DPRK.
Those citizens of the DPRK who had been abducted by the south Korean
puppet forces and taken to south Korea are interrogated at the "central
joint investigation center" made up of those concerned of the puppet
Intelligence Service, Unification Ministry, Defense Ministry and police
for six months. They receive "anti-communist brain-washing education"
for three to four months, being subject to all kinds of violence at a
concentration camp called "Hana Center".
Those who had been taken to south Korea are also subject to sub-human mal-treatment and humiliation.
Unable to eke out their living, they reside in places around
mountaineering courses or garbage ground, picking up leftovers of food
in day time and covering their bodies with leaves or rubbish at nights.
The south Korean puppet forces did not hesitate to commit
hair-raising atrocities against distressed citizens of the DPRK who went
adrift to south Korea.
Those whom the puppet forces did not send back to the north after
kidnapping them when their boats were wrecked in the sea numbered more
than 60 in the past five years.
All facts go to prove that the puppet forces are a group of the worst human rights abusers and hideous criminals.
We express the expectation and conviction that the world justice and
conscience will heighten vigilance against the anti-human rights
burlesque of those forces hostile toward the DPRK, pay due attention to
the worst human rights situation in south Korea and become vocal
censuring the human rights abusers. -0-
