The statement denounced the south Korean authorities for sentencing to a long jail term a lawmaker from the Unified Progressive Party.

This proves that south Korea is a fascist dictatorial society where democracy has been violated, the statement noted, and went on:

In south Korea the "Security Law" outlaws the activities of the Left political parties and all progressive forces supporting the DPRK and Korea's reunification.

The U.S. troops present in south Korea are wasting a huge amount of upkeep collected from the south Koreans as taxes every year, lording it over them.

South Korea has turned into the worst tundra of human rights and a dark land where fascism is rampant and progressive idea and activities are trampled down.

We demand the south Korean authorities cancel the severe punishment of the lawmaker from the UPP and release him unconditionally.
