Statement of UK KFA, JISGE and ASSPUK on south Korea's detention of DPRK crew members

UK KOREAN FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION
London 7th of June 2014
The UK Korean Friendship Association together with the ASSPUK and Juche
Idea Study Group of England issued a joint statement supporting the just demand of the DPRK Red Cross for the return of DPRK sailors to the DPRK;

 The Central Committee of the DPRK Red Cross Society pointed out on Thursday 5th of June that  .
    Crewmen of the DPRK met distress in the East Sea of Korea recently while fishing.
    In this regard the DPRK side demanded the south Korean authorities send three distressed crewmen of the DPRK and their fishing boat back immediately.
    But the south Korean authorities repatriated one crewman only via Panmunjom and unreasonably held two crewmen in custody, asserting "they expressed their will to defect" and the like.

                       It is an intolerable human rights violation on the part of the south Korean fascist puppets to hold two sailor of the DPRK in custody and refuse to let then to meet representatives of the DPRK . It does look a trick of the south Korean puppet reactionaries to kidnap people from the DPRK and make it look like a defection.

Our organisations, the ASSPUK, JISGE and UK KFA, demand the south Korean
authorities return the DPRK sailors to the DPRK, their homeland.
