U.S., S. Korean Authorities Slammed for Death of S. Korean

Pyongyang, September 22 (KCNA) -- Civic organizations in south Korea, including the Action for Checking THAAD Deployment, on Wednesday held a press conference outside the hospital where keeps the coffin of Jo Yong Sam, who burnt himself to death to protest the deployment of THAAD, according to south Korean newspaper Nodong and Segye.

Speakers at the conference said that the blame for the death lies on the "government" pressing the good-for-nothing THAAD deployment and the U.S. that forced it.

If the "government" defies the will of the people, it will spark more horrible tragedy in the future, they warned.
