The statement of the NDC was read out at the rallies.

Representatives of the service personnel of the Korean People's Army, workers, agricultural workers, youth and students in their speeches bitterly condemned the campaign kicked up by the U.S. through high-handed and arbitrary practices.

There can never exist any "human rights issue" under the Korean-style socialist system where the dignity and rights of human beings are fully guaranteed and the dream and ideal of the people are translated into a brilliant reality, they said.

The reckless moves of the U.S. imperialists and their followers to bring down the socialist system, the cradle of the Korean people's life, have gone beyond the danger line, they noted, adding the patience of the army and people of the DPRK has its limit and they will not pardon the hateful provokers even a bit.

No force on earth can arrest the just cause of the army and people of the DPRK who have turned out as one in the retaliatory sacred war to resolutely smash the heinous "human rights" racket kicked up by the U.S. imperialists and their followers, they stressed.

Then followed demonstrations of the participants in the rallies.
