Minju Joson Blasts Japanese Imperialists' Fabrication of Document for Korean Aggression
Pyongyang, August 22 (KCNA) -- The Japanese imperialists turned the whole of Korea into a colony through fraud, threat and blackmail. This crime deserves punishment by justice and human conscience as it was a brigandish act unprecedented in the world history of conquering other countries.

Minju Joson Saturday says this in a signed commentary carried 99 years since the Japanese imperialists cooked up the "Korea-Japan Annexation Treaty" at the point of bayonet to pave the way for Korean aggression.

Citing detailed facts to explain how this document was fabricated, the commentary goes on:

Since the defeat of Japan, its government has justified its past crimes, falsifying the above-said stark historical reality.

The Japanese imperialists invaded Korea on the basis of the above-said "document" which was no more than a waste paper having no legal validity, imposing colonial slavery upon the Koreans. They will never tolerate this monstrous crime but certainly force Japan to pay for it.

They will always remember the truth of history that a country may go to ruin in a moment but its rehabilitation will last for a millennium.

The Korean people will bolster up their capability for self-defense in every way in order not to see the repetition of the national tragedy in which they were subject to slavery in bitter tears as they were too weak to react to the strong-arm policy of outsiders to infringe upon the sovereignty of their country.
