A spokesman for the Association for Human Rights Studies of Korea in a statement on May 7 branded the Lee group's brutal suppression of south Koreans as blatant human rights abuses and crude violation of democracy, an extension of the shuddering fascist rule it has enforced since it came to power.

The statement cites facts to prove that since the emergence of the Lee regime south Korea has turned into the world's worst "land ridden with tyranny" and the world's biggest tundra of human rights where people's independent right and dignity are ruthlessly violated.

It is preposterous, indeed, for such violators of democracy and human rights to talk about someone's "human rights issue," the statement notes, and continues:

The popular resistance getting fiercer in south Korea as the days go by is an eruption of the people's resentment against the Lee group.

The south Korean conservative authorities should immediately stop their fascist suppression of the south Korean people who rose up in the actions for new democratic politics and new life, keenly aware that those who turned their back on the people will meet nothing but a miserable end.
