Recalling that on December 30 the fascist police walked away by force Song Hyo Won, chairperson of the 13th-term Hanchongryon, who had participated in the "72-hour emergency people's action", the statement declared that the suppression of Hanchongryon is intolerable as it is precisely an all-out repression of justice and conscience.

It noted that the dictatorial regime should understand that it can never turn back the wheel of history advancing toward justice and progress no matter how desperately it is trying to stem the trend of the times by invoking evil laws including the "National Security Law" and mobilizing the security forces.

It demanded the authorities set free Song at once and abolish the NSL.
