Evasion of Military Service among Privileged Prevails in S. Korea
Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- A lot of cases of evasion of military service were reported from among the privileged in south Korea, sparking off public criticism.

It was disclosed by south Korean media recently that 15 senior officials of the present puppet regime including those of Chongwadae exempted their children from military service.

By abusing their power, they let their children have nationality of the U.S. and other countries to evade military service.

In south Korea only the privileged are not bound to law while the ordinary people are suffering from service in the puppet army in which they are subject to merciless physical torture, club discipline and the jungle law due to the "Law on Military Service." This evil practice has long been rampant in its society.

Lee Hoe Chang, former representative of the "Grand National Party," also bribed those in charge of conscription, wooing them to record his children's body weights less than their actual ones and exempt them from military service.

And he exempted from military service seven relatives including his son-in-law, children of his brother-in-law and his cousin-in-law.

What matters is that those who have neither power nor authority among the evaders of military service are liable to punishment on charges of violation of the "Law on Military Service" but the privileged people are an exception and, moreover, hold such high post as "president."

Traitor Lee Myung Bak, former "president," was so ignorant of military affairs that he could not aim a rifle properly, becoming a laughing stock of people.

During his tenure of office, most of senior officials including "prime minister" were evaders of military service.

One third of the minister-level officials did not serve in the army. The minister of Land and Maritime Affairs, the chairman of the Financial Committee and the head of the Food and Medicine Safety Agency exempted their children from military service, creating uproar.

There were countless cases of irregularities and corruption under the Lee regime. To cite an example, Hyon Pyong Chol, known as an anti-human rights activist, was reappointed as chairman of the Human Rights Committee despite the disclosure of his son's evasion of military service.

The same is the case with the present regime in which the privileged circles are behaving like anarchists, backed by power.
