Speakers there accused the Lee Myung Bak regime of denying the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration and putting a total ban to nongovernmental cooperation and exchange between the north and the south through the "May 24 step" taken after the "Cheonan" warship case, in particular.

The authorities should immediately rectify all of them and apologize to the people for their crimes, they urged, adding:

They should also dismiss Hyon In Thaek, minister of Unification, and all others responsible for the present situation of confrontation and abandon at once such confrontation policies as watchword "no-nuke, opening and 3 000 dollars".

They urged the Lee regime to commit itself to implementation of the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration and strive for durable peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula, though belatedly.
