  The Association for the Study of Songun Politics(ASSPUK) ,  the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea  (BGSJI), the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK ( KFA UK) and the British Solidarity Committee for Peace and Reunification on the Korean Peninsula (BSCPRKP)issued the following joint statement  on the 77th anniversary of the proclamation of the Law on Agrarian Reform in People's Korea;  

                        

 On the  5th of March  77 years ago, the  Provisional People's Committee of North Korea proclaimed the law of Agrarian Reform. The law confiscated without compensation the land of landlords with more than 5 hectares of land and distributed it free of charge to landless and land-short farmers. It was probably one of the most radical, revolutionary and thoroughgoing land reform ever carried out in history. It was radically different to land reforms carried out in other countries.

   The Agrarian Reform Law smashed the chains of ossified feudalism which had existed for centuries. It freed the farmers from the exploitation and oppression of cruel landlords and made them masters of the land. Indeed more than mere masters of the land, it made them masters of their own fate and masters of the country.
The Agrarian Reform Law broke the fetters on the rural productive forces and led to a big upsurge in agricultural production. It marked a fundamental and irreversible redistribution of wealth and power in the northern part of Korea. Thanks to the Agrarian Reform Law and later measures People's Korea is one of the most egalitarian societies in the world.
   Since the enactment of the Agrarian Reform Law the socialist agricultural working people have triumphantly marched along the road of Juche-oriented agricultural development.

 
  We are sure that greater successes will be made in the future. We applaud the 77th anniversary of the Agrarian Reform Law.
