S. Korean Security Authorities' Fascist Plot under Fire

     Pyongyang, November 3 (KCNA) -- The "Prosecution" and "Intelligence Service" of south Korea are busy investigating five former and incumbent leading members of the Democratic Workers' Party after arresting them on charges of violating the "National Security Law" (NSL). They took such action, asserting that they got in touch with an "operative from the north" and they were "suspected of visiting the north without permission." Commenting on this, a news analyst of Rodong Sinmun Friday says: Such anachronistic action of the south Korean security authorities is, in a nutshell, one more anti-DPRK racket kicked up at the instigation of the U.S. and pro-U.S. conservatives in south Korea and a fascist plot reminding one of the past era of dictatorship.
    The fascist racket kicked up by the U.S. and pro-U.S. conservative forces in south Korea on the basis of sheer lies goes to prove that they are going reckless in their moves to block the advance of the June 15 era of reunification, the news analyst notes, and goes on:
    It is foolish of them to try to fan up hostility toward the DPRK among south Koreans by employing such stereotyped method as cooking up a "spy ring case" in the June 15 era of reunification. This rowdyism only lays bare their despicable colors and precipitates their self-destruction.

Anti-U.S., Anti-War Rally in Seoul

     Pyongyang, November 3 (KCNA) -- The Seoul Reunification Solidarity, the Seoul People's Solidarity and the Seoul Headquarters of the Movement for Checking the "south Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement" reportedly held the sixth anti-U.S., anti-war Seoul regional rally in Kwanghwamun on Oct. 28. It was held on the theme of opposing sanctions against the DPRK, denouncing the U.S. for putting pressure on south Korea to participate in the "PSI" and checking the conclusion of south Korea-U.S. FTA.
    Speakers including the permanent representative of the Seoul Reunification Solidarity and the chairman of the Seoul City Committee of the Democratic Workers' Party at the rally called upon the progressive camps to pool their efforts to form one front to foil the U.S. moves.
    The movement for peace against war provides the only way of defusing the crisis on the Korean Peninsula, they noted, appealing to all the people from the Seoul region to pool their efforts so as to remove the danger of war and terminate the south Korea-U.S. "alliance".
    Contending that the U.S. pressure upon south Korea to take part in the PSI is only escalating the tension on the peninsula, they accused the Grand National Party of south Korea and other pro-U.S. conservative forces of toeing the U.S. line. They demanded the GNP and other pro-U.S. conservative forces stop at once inciting the U.S. moves for a war.

Intensified Struggle for Independence against Outside Forces Called for

     Pyongyang, November 3 (KCNA) -- Papers here Friday dedicate signed articles to the 77th anniversary of the popular uprising of youth and students and people in Kwangju against the Japanese imperialists' acts of despising the Koreans and their colonial rule over Korea. Rodong Sinmun says the Kwangju students' incident taught a precious lesson that a nation should have an outstanding leader at its head and the whole nation should firmly unite as one and wage a nationwide struggle to defend its dignity and independence.
    It goes on:
    Much water has flown since the Kwangju students' incident. The banner of independence against outside forces which has always been held aloft has served as a banner in the life and struggle of the Korean nation.
    It is more than sixty years since the U.S. occupied south Korea taking the place of the Japanese imperialists. It has since imposed only misfortune and sufferings resulting from national division upon the Korean nation, encroaching upon the national dignity and sovereignty.
    The history and reality clearly prove that the U.S. and Japanese imperialists are the sworn enemies of the whole Korean nation as they have done harm to the Koreans and sought to enslave them generation after generation.
    The soul of the participants in the Kwangju uprising calls for a dynamic struggle against outside forces and for the withdrawal of the U.S. troops.
    The youths and students and people in south Korea and all other fellow countrymen in the north and overseas should inherit the strong spirit of independence and the indomitable self-sacrificing spirit with which Kwangju students rose in the uprising 77 years ago against the outside forces' domination and national humiliation and wage a just and bold patriotic struggle to establish sovereignty of the nation. Minju Joson says that the Korean people will never forget the hideous crimes the Japanese imperialists committed by bringing unspeakable misfortune and sufferings to the Korean nation in the past but surely force Japan to pay for them.

Paektu as an inborn disposition, made the enemy shudder with his matchless pluck and mettle, ever-changing tactics and wisdom and is highly praised by the people for his distinguished political caliber and noble personality. Chapter 12 dealing with legends about the woman commander of Mt. Paektu contains legends about anti-Japanese war hero Kim Jong Suk such as "Legend about Mt. O" and "Woman Commander of Mt. Paektu."

Actions Taken by S. Korean Authorities to Disallow Pyongyang Visits under Fire

     Pyongyang, November 3 (KCNA) -- The south Korean authorities have recently disallowed the Pyongyang visit by a group of youths and students for reunification, which the South Side's Committee for Implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration planned to arrange so that they might visit historic sites in the north, under the absurd pretext of taking the present inter-Korean relations and situation on the Korean Peninsula into consideration. They also blocked the scheduled visits to Pyongyang by representatives of various reunification movement organizations grouping people from all walks of life, aid organizations and even religious organizations in south Korea. In this regard the Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland issued information bulletin No. 924 Friday.
    Terming these actions intolerable treacherous acts of standing in the way of inter-Korean reconciliation and cooperation and joining the U.S. in its sanctions against the DPRK, the bulletin said, and went on:
    The above-said actions taken by the south Korean authorities against the group of youths and students for reunification and non-governmental organizations and their moves to hamstring even the aid projects of the organizations under the pressure of outsiders and anti-reunification forces go to clearly prove once again that they are deeply involved in the U.S. sanctions against the DPRK.
    The south Korean authorities had better to behave themselves, well aware that they would be strongly protested and condemned by all the Koreans for joining the U.S. in its sanctions against the DPRK.
    Absolutely intolerable are the actions taken to disallow the Pyongyang visits by south Koreans of different strata including youths and students and inter-Korean non-governmental cooperation.
    The south Korean authorities should retract the "actions" and permit at once the Pyongyang visits by the above-said group and non-governmental organizations.

     Pyongyang, November 3 (KCNA) -- Activated insam capsules for liver protection developed by Kanggye University of Medicine in the DPRK are hailed by local and foreign clients for its high efficacy. The drug, made with more than ten Koryo medicinal materials including insam (ginseng), is potent for acute and chronic hepatitis, hepatic cirrhosis, fatty liver, toxic hepatitis, cholecystitis and pancreatitis.

    The drug was highly appreciated at the 9th national exhibition of inventions and new technology held in September.
    It obtained a patent of the DPRK in June this year.
    It also won the highest prize at the International Patented Technologies and Products Trade Fair held in Dalian, China, in August last, for its high hepatitis B antigen elimination factor.
    Researcher of Kanggye University of Medicine Song Myong Won who made the drug told KCNA that its clinical test showed complete cure of more than 97.5 percent.

Japanese Imperialists' Plunder of Land Denounced

     Pyongyang, November 3 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Central Committee of the Union of Agricultural Workers of Korea issued a statement on Nov. 3, 100 years since the Japanese imperialists cooked up and promulgated on November 6, 1906 the "order by the Residency-General" what they called "regulations on land and real estate" for the purpose of justifying their plunder of land after occupying Korea. The statement said:
    These regulations granted the Japanese landowners legitimate rights with the approval given by "the Board of Directors of the Residency-General," providing them with a "legal guarantee" for expropriating land in Korea to an unlimited extent. These regulations also stipulated that in case dealings in land ownership and land transfer are made between foreigners and Koreans, or between foreigners except Japanese, they would have " legal validity" only when certified by Japan. The Japanese imperialists thus totally deprived Korea of legal rights to the sale and transfer of land ownership.
    These crimes committed by the Japanese imperialists after illegally occupying Korea are hideous international crimes that can neither be written off nor covered up no matter how much water may flow under the bridge.
    Japan should apologize and compensate the Korean nation for this crime-woven history.
    Japan is the inveterate and sworn enemy of the Korean nation as it is hell-bent on justifying its brigandish invasion against Korea and harsh colonial rule over it and stepping up the moves to launch reinvasion, far from apologizing and compensating for them.
    All the Koreans will never pardon the crimes committed by Japan against them in the past but surely force it to pay for them.

Kim Jong Il Inspects KPA Unit

     Pyongyang, November 3 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected KPA Unit 1112 honored with the title of O Jung Hup-led 7th Regiment. He was accompanied by KPA Generals Ri Myong Su, Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong and Hwang Pyong So, vice department director of the Central Committee of the WPK.
    He dropped in at the servicepersons' hall where he saw combat records of the unit shining with victory and glory and heard its history.
    The unit won shining victories in the Fatherland Liberation War fought to beat back the imperialist allied forces and in the protracted confrontation with the enemies, thus fully demonstrating the heroic spirit of the KPA, he noted, underscoring the need for its servicepersons to preserve this glorious tradition to achieve one victory after another in the future, too.

    He set forth tasks to be carried out to increase the combat capability of the unit, greatly satisfied to see the servicepersons of the unit reliably standing guard over the defence line of the country, firmly equipped with the Juche-oriented tactics of the WPK. Walking round the compound of the barracks reminding one of a rest home, he learnt in detail about how the unit is managed.
    All the units of the KPA have reached a high level not only in the combat and political training but in their management, he said, stressing this shining success clearly shows what a high level the KPA has reached in the fields of ideology, morality, culture and traits as a standard-bearer and main force for the Songun revolution. Then he took deep care of the living of the servicepersons, going round a bedroom, a mess hall, a kitchen, a wash-cum-bath house, a subsidiary food store and other logistic facilities.
    He spared time to watch soldiers of a company of the unit having a gathering to boast their native places.
    Hearing them expressing their ardent love for their native places and the homeland, he said that one strong in love for his native place has fervent patriotism and one strong in patriotism has a high degree of revolutionary enthusiasm.
    Expressing great satisfaction over the fact that the unit is conducting the socialist and patriotic education of the soldiers in a new form and by a unique method, he underlined the need for all fields to earnestly learn from the anti-Japanese guerilla-style of political work conducted by the KPA in a unique manner to suit the sentiment, emotion and mental characteristics of servicepersons. He had a photo session with the servicepersons of the unit.

Rodong Sinmun denuncia autoridades surcoreanas de seguridad publica

    　Pyongyang, 3 de noviembre (ATCC) -- En estos dias, la "Fiscalia" y el "Servicio de Inteligencia" del Sur de Corea arrestaron a 5 cuadros retirados y activos del Partido de Trabajadores Democraticos en virtud de la "ley de seguridad" y los sometieron al interrogatorio alegando que "se contactaron con un agente norcoreano" y hay "sospechas de que habian visitado el Norte de Corea sin autorizacion". 　Esta conducta anacronica de las autoridades surcoreanas de seguridad publica es otra campana anti-RPDC, que se desarrolla a instigacion de Estados Unidos y las fuerzas conservadoras proyanquis del Sur de Corea, y un complot fascista que hace recordar de aquellos tiempos de regimenes dictatoriales.
    　Asi senala el diario Rodong Sinmun en un comentario individual del dia 3 y prosigue: 　EE.UU. y dichos elementos surcoreanos fraguaron ese fantasmal "incidente del grupo de espias" como colofon de sus desesperadas maniobras para frenar el avance de la epoca de reunificacion del 15 de junio.
    　En esta epoca, sera una gran tonteria inculcar en la sociedad surcoreana la hostilidad a la RPDC con esa mana ya caduca.
    　Al contrario, ese complot solo pondra al desnudo la asquerosa naturaleza de si mismos y les adelantara la autodestruccion.

Periodicos llaman a intensificar la lucha por la independencia

    　Pyongyang, 3 de noviembre (ATCC) -- Los periodicos capitalinos publicaron este viernes los articulos individuales dedicados al 77o aniversario de la sublevacion de los jovenes estudiantes y habitantes de Kwangju en rechazo a la politica de discriminacion nacional y la dominacion colonial de los imperialistas japoneses. 　El diario Rodong Sinmun senala que el incidente estudiantil de Kwangju dejo una valiosa leccion de que para defender la dignidad nacional y la independencia es imprescindible contar con un destacado lider y toda la nacion debe unirse como un solo hombre en la gigantesca lucha pannacional y prosigue:
    　Paso mucho tiempo desde aquel incidente.
    　Pero, la bandera de lucha contra las fuerzas extranjeras y por la independencia sigue siendo hasta hoy la consigna de vida y lucha de nuestra nacion. 　EE.UU., que ocupa durante mas de 60 anos el territorio surcoreano en reemplazo de los imperialistas japoneses, viola la dignidad y la soberania de la nacion coreana y le inflige desgracias y sufrimientos a causa de la division nacional. 　La historia y la realidad demuestran claramente que los imperialistas norteamericanos y japoneses son enemigos jurados del pueblo coreano que de siglo en siglo acosan a este e intentan esclavizarlo.
    　El espiritu de los sublevados de Kwangju llama a una lucha mas valiente contra las fuerzas foraneas y por expulsar a las tropas yanquis del Sur de Corea. 　Los jovenes estudiantes y otros habitantes del Sur de Corea y todos los demas connacionales del Norte y en ultramar deben desplegar con audacia una justa lucha patriotica por la soberania nacional con el mismo espiritu independiente y la rebeldia de los sublevados a la dominacion y discriminacion nacional de las fuerzas foraneas. 　A su vez, el rotativo Minju Joson senala que nuestro pueblo jamas olvidara de los barbaros crimenes de los imperialistas japoneses que en el pasado acarrearon a la nacion coreana incontables desdichas y dolores y cobrara sin falta su precio.

UTAC revela usurpacion de tierra de los imperialistas japoneses

    　Pyongyang, 3 de noviembre (ATCC) -- El portavoz de la Union de Trabajadores Agricolas de Corea (UTAC) hizo publica el dia 3 una declaracion en relacion con que se cumplen cien anos desde cuando para legalizar el saqueo de terrenos de Corea los imperialistas japoneses promulgaran el 6 de noviembre de 1906 un "decreto de la regencia general": "reglamentos sobre la tierra y los edificios". 　El documento senala:
    　Segun este reglamento, los imperialistas japoneses permitieron conceder derechos legitimos a los propietarios japoneses de la tierra bajo la aprobacion de la "administracion de directores de la regencia general", de modo que prepararon la "garantia legal" para despojar a su antojo los terrenos de Corea. Ademas, estipula que en caso de la venta y compra y el traspaso del dominio entre un coreano y un extranjero, inclusive el japones, o entre los extranjeros, solo tienen "validez legal" los documentos de certificacion de Japon. De esta manera, privaron totalmente a Corea del derecho legal en esta materia.
    　Tales fechorias, que los imperialistas japoneses cometieron en Corea tras ocuparla ilegalmente, son crimenes internacionales de categoria especial que no podran ser borrados ni encubiertos aunque pasen muchos anos.
    　Japon debe pedir disculpa y hacer indemnizacion por sus crimenes inauditos del pasado en detrimento de la nacion coreana.
    Pero, esos enemigos jurados de la nacion coreana maniobran enloquecidamente para justificarse y reagredir a Corea lejos de pedir disculpa e indemnizar por su bandidesca agresion y barbara dominacion colonial.
    Toda la nacion coreana no perdonara jamas los crimenes de Japon y ajustara la cuenta de ello sin falta.
