The appeal said that the May 18 Kwangju Popular Resistance marked an occasion that fundamentally changed the perception of the U.S. among south Koreans.

Saying that the U.S. was none other than a wire-puller of the massacre in Kwangju, the appeal added that it was confirmed by the declassified documents of the U.S.

However, the U.S. has never made even a single word of apology nor assumed any responsibility. The successive "governments" of south Korea failed to urge it to do so, it charged.

It said that such humiliating behavior helped the U.S. forces in south Korea persist in their murder, arson and rape, charging that during her trip to the U.S. the chief executive failed to utter a word about an unequal relations with the U.S. On the contrary, she discussed only tightened alliance, purchase of the U.S.-made weapons, FTA and the like.

Expressing will to put an end to sycophantic and servile stand and realize independence, peace and democracy through the dynamic struggle to wreak the grudge of martyrs in Kwangju, the appeal advanced the following slogans:

Let us block the war crisis and bring earlier the independent reunification by inheriting the May 18 spirit!

The U.S. should apologize for the massacre of people in Kwangju!

The U.S. should resume the DPRK-U.S. dialogue and conclude a peace treaty!

The chief executive, wrecker of the inter-Korean relations, should make an apology before the people!

The "government", fully implement the June 15 and October 4 south-north joint declarations!

The regime should rescind FTA and enforce the policy for protecting peasants!

Let's terminate the danger of war and defend the people's livelihood and peace by the concerted efforts of forces for progress and reform!
