The Headquarters of the Movement for Resignation of the Yoon Suk Yeol Regime, the Emergency Situation Council, the Joint Council of Civic and Public Organizations, the "Peace Action" and other public organizations launched an intensive struggle against war and for peace.

The organizations held a press conference in Seoul on August 3 and made public a press release, in which they criticized the traitor Yoon regime for staging offensive joint military drills almost every day and openly inciting confrontation by inviting U.S. strategic assets under the pretext of "extended deterrence".

They denounced traitor Yoon Suk Yeol for urging the victims of the forced labor run by the Japanese imperialists to give up their right to get reparations, and for supporting the Japan's plan to release nuclear-polluted water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant. They called on the public to bring down the traitor Yoon regime by the concerted efforts.

Workers', peasants', students' and civic and public organizations launched an intensive struggle under the slogan "No war drills! No military alliance!"

The south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions held a rally in Pusan on August 5 in demand of the withdrawal of the U.S. forces and the resignation of traitor Yoon.

The Progressive Federation of Students held meetings of declaring a struggle outside the U.S. embassy in Seoul and the U.S. military bases in Sosong-ri of Songju County, Taegu, Phyongthaek and other areas, at which they called upon students to prevent war without fail and impeach traitor Yoon Suk Yeol who is going to inflict a nuclear disaster on this land against the desire of the people.

The federation issued an appeal.

As long as Yoon Suk Yeol goes scot-free, uneasiness and crisis will get serious and the disaster will continue, the appeal said, and went on:

The present miserable reality proves that the resignation of Yoon Suk Yeol can no longer be delayed but must be hastened without fail.

Let us all turn out in the action for the resignation of Yoon Suk Yeol!

No combined military drills bringing nuclear disaster!

Go away, U.S. forces!

Yoon Suk Yeol, step down!

The People's Action announced that it would stage actions outside the Japanese consulate in Pusan and the Japanese embassy in Seoul and in Sosong-ri, Songju County, North Kyongsang Province, Ryongsan of Seoul and other places in demand of the pull-out of the U.S. forces and THAAD, halt to war drills and resignation of Yoon.

A peace organization declared that it would launch a struggle against war and for the withdrawal of the U.S. forces, starting outside the Ryongsan U.S. military base and touring Sosong-ri, Songju County where the THAAD base is located, Paekunpho base in Pusan, U.S. military base in Kunsan and other places.

The large-scale 51st candlelight rally and demonstration took place in Seoul and other parts of south Korea on August 5 to oust traitor Yoon.

Present there were workers, peasants, the poor, students, religious believers, citizens and many other people of various circles.

Speakers said that the candlelight action has grown very strong for the past one year since its start and the number of its participants has increased despite all sorts of calumny and suppression, adding all streets and villages are full of their shouts calling for "resignation of Yoon Suk Yeol". They stressed the need to overthrow and punish the Yoon without fail.

Then the participants staged a demonstration.

Meanwhile, members of the Paedal Trade Union held a rally in Seoul on August 4 and turned out in the anti-"government" struggle under the slogan "Unity makes us masters and division makes us slaves!"

The media reported under such titles as "candlelight kindled all over the region" and "earnest desire hotter than sultry weather" that solidarity organizations demanding peace, historical justice and the resignation of Yoon Suk Yeol prepare the rally together, something unprecedented in the past, adding that the fact shows that the situation on the Korean peninsula is so tense and the organizations of workers, peasants, the poor, citizens and others started the struggle against the U.S. and for the resignation of Yoon Suk Yeol on a full scale and such public campaign is further expanding as days go by.
