S. Korea's Suppression of Civic Organization under Fire
Pyongyang, June 26 (KCNA) -- The Joint Conference of Human Rights Organizations and other civic and public organizations of south Korea at a press conference held in Seoul on June 23 condemned the puppet prosecution for suppressing the Citizens' Solidarity for Democratic Society.

The organizations accused the puppet prosecution of conducting an investigation into the solidarity, branding its sending a letter demanding a fair and objective discussion on the "Cheonan" case to the UNSC as an "enemy-benefiting act" and the like.

It was just for the solidarity to have clarified its view before the UN, representing the people's mindset, the organizations said, adding that the authorities' suppression was entirely undemocratic violence encroaching upon the freedom of expression.

The organizations demanded the authorities stop at once the suppression of the solidarity and guarantee the people the freedom of expression so that they may properly probe the truth about the case.
