The Korean Friendship Association of the UK (KFA UK ) held a picket of the US Embassy in London on the 27th of June at 1500 hours to mark the Day of Struggle against US imperialism and the 76th anniversary of the provocation of the Fatherland Liberation War by the US imperialists . Participating in the picket were officials and activists of the Korean Friendship Association UK as well progressive ,democratic and anti-imperialist activists from a wide range of organisations.
Picketers braved the abnormally hot weather to show solidarity with People’s Korea .
Dr Dermot Hudson chairman of KFA UK addressed the picket saying that “We are here today picketing the US embassy because a few days ago on Tuesday 25th of June , it was the 76th 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 was 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.
Let’s remember that the US is not some wonderful land of ‘freedom and democracy ‘ by the head of a giant corrupt empire that gave you Jeffrey Epstein and has military bases in every corner of the globe.”
A message of solidarity from KFA Germany was read out by KFA UK Organisation secretary Alan Bolon which stated “The US-imperialists threw 600 000 tons of bombs and napalm bombs on the DPRK. 600 000 tons. Almost four times as much as on Japan during the pacific war. An unimaginable high number. One ton is 1000 kilograms. So the US-imperialists threw 600 million kilos of bombs and napalm bombs on Korea. Those bombs did not just hit military targets. These bombs destroyed over 50 000 industrial facilities, over 4500 school buildings, almost 600 scientific facilities, over 8000 cultural and media facilities and over 2 million dwelling houses. That´s a 2 with six zeros.
But has there been any reparation? Any apology? No, the contrary! The US-imperialists still try to destroy the DPRK. Until this they UNC-troops, including soldiers from Germany and the UK are stationed in the south Korean fascist puppet regime. Until this day the US-imperialists threaten the DPRK with aggressive military maneuvers and try to economically destroy the DPRK with sanctions.”
Members of different organisations addressed the picket stressing the need for solidarity with the DPRK against US imperialism .
Picketers chanted
“Defend People’s Korea !”
“US out of Korea “
“Long live People’s Korea !
“Long live the Workers Party of Korea “
“Yankee Go Home “
The picket concluded at 1630 hours.
