Japan's Moves to Grab Tok Islets under Fire in S. Korea
Pyongyang, April 13 (KCNA) -- 220 civic and social organizations in the Pusan area including the Council of Pusan Civic Organizations in south Korea at a rally held near the consulate of Japan in Pusan on April 9 strongly protested against the Japanese government's brazen-faced moves to grab Tok Islets.

The organizations said at the rally that shortly ago the Japanese government finally passed through screening the textbooks of primary schools in which Tok Islets are marked as part of its territory, adding this is, in fact, a dastardly intention to infuse "dominion over Tok Islets" into all the students in Japan through primary education.

They stressed that Tok Islets are evidently part of the inviolable territory of the Korean nation from historical and geographical viewpoints and there can be neither concession nor compromise.

The organizations strongly demanded the Japanese authorities immediately retract the results of textbook screening and apologize to the Korean nation for their action.
