The statement accused the security authorities of perpetrating such tyrannical action as walking off Kim Chan Ju, chairman of the student council of Gyeongsang College of Chosun University, on the charge of violating the NSL that day.
The number of those arrested on charges of violation of the NSL is on the steady increase at a time when a terror-ridden atmosphere of suppression under the pretext of "security" is prevailing throughout south Korea after Lee Myung Bak's seizure of power, the statement noted, and went on:
Under the pretext of regaining "the lost decade" the Lee Myung Bak regime is frantically intensifying the suppression of people, regarding the above-said fascist law as the most effective weapon and lever for realizing its sinister political ambition.
What is more deplorable is that those who participated in recent candlelight actions are suppressed on charges of violating the NSL and being "leftists" and "Reds."
There is no ground whatsoever for the NSL to remain in force in this land any longer.
People are becoming increasingly aware of the need to form an alliance with the north. No matter how desperately the Lee Myung Bak regime works to achieve its aim, faking up "spyring cases," etc. none of our people will be taken in by such sheer lies.
The NSL can never serve as a spear or as a shield. It is nothing but a leftover that should have been thrown away long ago.
The Lee Myung Bak regime should abolish the NSL and set free all the prisoners of conscience at once.
