Candlelight Action Plan Made Public in S. Korea

Pyongyang, December 2 (KCNA) -- 68 civic and social organizations of south Korea, including the civic organization "Citizens' Action to Denounce Abe for Distorting History, Invading Economy and Threatening Peace" and the South Side Committee for Implementing June 15 Joint Declaration, held a public organizations' situation seminar and joint press conference for the abrogation of the General Security of Military Intelligence Agreement (GSOMIA) and against the U.S. interference in internal affairs" in Seoul on Nov. 27 to make public a candlelight action plan, according to the south Korean internet newspaper Tongil News.

The speakers said that the decision of the "government" to extend GSOMIA is a disregard for the will of the people who waged an anti-Japanese struggle, including the campaign for boycotting Japanese goods.

They denounced the "government" for taking a humiliating attitude towards the U.S. that is putting pressure upon it not only to extend the GSOMIA but to increase the expenses for the upkeep of the U.S. forces in south Korea.

The joint declaration said that GSOMIA is the one for alliance with the aggressor Japan which should not have been concluded. It condemned the "government" for tying to extend and revive the agreement, overawed by the U.S. pressure.

The violation of sovereignty by the U.S, meddling in the internal affairs under the pretext of alliance and by evil media, pro-Japanese elements and evil forces can never be tolerated, it stressed.
