Present there were figures of the New Communist Party of Britain, the Korean Friendship Association UK, the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and the British Association for the Study of Songun Policy and other people.

Dermot Hudson, chairman of the British Association for the Study of Songun Policy, supported the DPRK's proposal for independent and peaceful reunification.

He went on:

There is no independence in south Korea and tens of thousands of U.S. troops are present there.

The kingpin of abusing human rights in the Korean Peninsula is none other than the south Korean puppet regime.

It is clumsy that the south Korean puppet forces are running amuck in hysteria while taking issue with the DPRK's satellite launch for peaceful purposes.

The DPRK has a right to launch its satellite and this admits of no argument.

Andy Brooks, general secretary of the Central Committee of the New Communist Party of Britain, condemned the human rights abuses in south Korea.

A statement was read out.

After the meeting the participants waged a demonstration and distributed information leaflets to pedestrians, shouting slogans including "Korea is one!" and "U.S. forces, Go out of south Korea!"
