UK KFA Statement on US imposing travel restrictions on people who had visited the DPRK

                                                     
   

7th of August 2019

The UK Korean Friendship Association today issued a statement concerning the recent measure of the US authorities to end the visa waiver programme for anyone who had visited the Democratic People's Republic of Korea during the last 8 years ;
   We denounce this diabolic McCarthyite act of the reactionary US authorities which is basically trying to dictate to people outside the US  which countries they can and cannot visit . It is typical American hypocrisy which on the one hand talks about the 'freedom to travel' but on the other
actually bans US citizens from visiting the DPRK and is now trying hard to discourage and restrict citizens of other countries from visiting the DPRK.
  This shows that the US hostile policy towards the DPRK is continuing despite 3 DPRK-US summits. It is 'backdoor sanctions' aimed at trying to limit tourism to the DPRK and deprive the DPRK of foreign currency revenue .It also may restrict economic and cultural exchange with the DPRK as well . It is an anti-peace move basically.
   The US is also trying to prevent  people from travelling to the DPRK to stop seeing the reality of the DPRK and leaning the truth ,
  We believe that this measure will fail !
US ,HANDS OFF PEOPLE'S KOREA !
