Dr Dermot Hudson Chairman of KFA UK made a speech and said “We are here today picketing the US embassy because a few days ago on Tuesday  25th of June , it was the 74th anniversary of the provocation of the Korean War which is known as the Fatherland Liberation War in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea . The war was not a war between Koreans but between a small country , the DPRK , and the American empire. Indeed it was a war against Korea , against the Korean people

 The US imperialists, the ringleader of world imperialism and international reactionaries, provoked a war in Korea on the 25th of June 1950 by instigating their south Korean puppets to attack the young Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The US imperialists were hungry for profits and conquest. The US imperialists fought an unjust aggressive war against the Korean people. The US imperialists launched a war of conquest against the DPRK , a war to destroy the Juche-based people's democratic system in the DPRK as well as to destroy socialism in Asia and the world.”

He concluded with the words “US out of Korea , Defend People’s Korea. ! “

A message from KFA Germany was read out which said “On behalf of KFA Germany, I extend strongest solidarity and admiration to all participants of the picket outside the US Embassy in London. Your courage and dedication in standing against the aggression of the US Empire are truly commendable and serve as an inspiring example for all of us.”

Greetings from the Organisation Secretary of KFA Germany , from KFA Brazil , from KFA Scotland and a friend in Russia were conveyed to the picket .

Dr Hudson also said that “We are here to defend the right of the DPRK to exist , to defend its independence , it is time to take a real stand and defend People's Korea from the threat of US aggression . The US is quite openly threatening the DPRK with annihilation , with being "eliminated " from the face of the globe .

All the time, the US, even as we stand here, the US imperialists are planning regime change in People’s Korea and to overthrow the socialist system .

.

Why should you defend the DPRK ? Because it is the most independent nation on the earth that does not have foreign troops stationed on its soil and also does not send its troops to fight in other countries.The DPRK is not a member of the World Bank , IMF or WEF “

The slogans “US out of Korea , Defend People’s Korea and Long Live People’s Korea “ were shouted .

DPRK flags and KFA UK banners were displayed . Also leaflets given out to passers by .

The picket concluded at 16.20 hours BST
