Pyongyang, October 18 (KCNA) -- The South Headquarters of the Pan-national Alliance for Korea's Reunification made public a statement in denunciation of the fascist oppression by the puppet group on Oct. 14.

The statement accused the authorities of inflicting heavy punishment on the former member of the National Reunification Committee of the south Korean Federation of University Student Councils on charges of the violation of the "National Security Law".

The authorities are mercilessly oppressing their own people even though they failed to protect the land of the nation from being polluted with defoliant and did not manage to punish GI sexual abusers and take resolute measure against Japan's evasion of the settlement of its past crimes.

The ruling forces' tyranny by dint of the NSL is aimed to win the next year's elections at their will.

The democratic and progressive forces should turn out in firm unity in the struggle to put an end to the authorities' fascist and dictatorial rule.
