They charged that bills on the revision of the law on media including a "bill on the revision of the law on newspapers" and a "bill on the revision of the law on broadcasting" and others which the Lee "government" and the "Grand National Party" seek to railroad are nothing but evil bills designed to shake the democracy of society and the unbiased public opinion to their very foundations.

They urged the GNP to immediately stop its moves to railroad the said bills through the "National Assembly."

They declared that they would positively support the strike of members of the media trade union and struggle in solidarity with the civic and public organizations to check the GNP's above-said moves.

The south Korean Press Trade Union held a rally to kick off the action for checking the authorities' moves to make a retrogressive revision of the law on media outside the building of the NA in Seoul on Dec. 26 and declared the start of an all-out struggle.

Speakers at the rally stated that the GNP's moves brought to light the design of the Lee group to put media under its control as they are aimed at leaving media to the tender mercy of the big businesses and conservative newspapers.

A resolution read out at the rally declared that they would surely frustrate the GNP's moves and threatened to immediately launch a struggle to force the regime to step down in case the bills on the revision of the law on media is rammed through the NA.
