 The Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK), the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea (BGSJI) and the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK  ( KFA UK ) issued the following joint statement today issued a joint statement on the 22nd  anniversary of the murder  of south Korean schoolgirls Sin Hyo Sun and Sim Mi Son by the US imperialist aggressor troops in south Korea;                                                   
  22 years have passed since two young schoolgirls in south Korea lost their lives at the hands of the US army. The US imperialist aggressor troops in south Korea are guilty of taking the lives of two innocent schoolchildren who were walking home from school. Sin Hyo Sun and Sim Mi Son were just two innocent schoolgirls on their way home from school.
   This atrocity by the US imperialists took Sin Hyo Sun and Sim Mi Son from their families and friends. Had they lived the two girls would now be in their 20s, starting out in life with hopes and aspirations. However, life with all its opportunities and challenges was taken from them by the US imperialists. No one was jailed for the crime. It was clearly a deliberate and premeditated act by the US imperialist troops who hate and despise the south Korean people.                                             
                       
     South Korea does not have the right to try US soldiers who commit serious crimes on south Korean soil to try them. The US under the "Status of Forces Agreement " enjoys 'extraterritoriality'. This gives them colonial privileges in south Korea. It means that they can swagger around and commit serious crimes in south Korea and get off scot-free.
  The killing of  Sin Hyo Sun and Sim Mi Son by US troops proves beyond doubt that the US army needs to withdraw from South Korea and that the US needs to change its policy towards Korea.
    Although the US imperialists perpetrated such an evil crime as killing schoolgirls, US troops still remain in south Korea lording it over the south Korean people Since the killings of Sin Hyo Sun and Sim Mi Son numerous crimes such as murder, robbery and rape have been committed by the US troops in south Korea. Despite this the south Korean authorities have agreed to pay more money in upkeep expenses for US troops
      The presence of US imperialist troops in south Korea is intolerable for the south Korean people. The US imperialist troops in south Korea are the root of crimes and depravity.
   The US imperialists commit crimes and atrocities not only in south Korea but other parts of the world where they have troops such as Okinawa.
    In the independent socialist DPRK, there are no US forces and the people are free from US occupation. Children can play happily without the fear of being killed or injured by Yankee soldiers or suffering a fate worse than death. The US imperialists falsely accuse the DPRK of human rights violations but it is the US imperialists who violate the human rights of the south Korean people on a daily basis.
This was a terrible crime against humanity by the US but no one has ever been held accountable. We call for the total, full and unconditional withdrawal of US troops from the south of Korea. We fully support the struggle of the south Korean people for the withdrawal of US troops.
