Legitimacy of Jongyojo Claimed in S. Korea
Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- The south Korean internet newspaper Voice of People on Wednesday carried an article claiming the legitimacy of the Teachers Union (Jongyojo).

The article said:

Jongyojo is a typical teachers' organization whose legitimacy was recognized on the basis of the people's agreement.

To stamp out such organization is an unreasonable act of fostering extreme confrontation and confusion.

The Human Rights Committee's behavior of turning its face away from the suppression upon Jongyojo clearly reveals the present regime's anti-human rights and undemocratic nature.

Park Chung-Hee forcibly dissolved the Teachers Trade Union, dismissed 1,500 teachers and sentenced dozens of leading members of the trade union to jail terms. Today his daughter is working hard to stamp out Jongyojo.

The crackdown reminiscent of that in the period of "yusin" fascist rule makes Jongyojo renew its will to intensify its actions, stressed the article.
