The Council of Christian Churches in a statement said killing of peasant Paek Nam Gi is the extension of arrogance and self-righteousness of the present "government" regarding the people as enemy.

10 religious organizations including the Missionary Solidarity Council of Christian Society held a press conference outside the venue of funeral for Paek Nam Gi.

They accused the "government" of failing to make an apology until Paek Nam Gi died since he was hit by water cannon.

If the "government" does not admit its wrongdoing, justice will punish it, they said, urging the "government" to make an apology before the body of Paek Nam Gi.
