Rodong Sinmun Urges Abolition of S. Korea's NSL
Pyongyang, June 26 (KCNA) -- The Lee Myung Bak group of south Korea should abolish the "National Security Law" (NSL), urged Rodong Sinmun in a bylined article Sunday.

The article warned that the group will be doomed to final ruin if it persists in confrontation with fellow countrymen through enactment of the "North Korean Human Rights Act" while refusing to repeal the NSL despite the strong domestic and foreign demand.

The NSL has been used as a means for "security of power" and human rights abuses by the successive south Korean rulers for more than 60 years, it noted, adding:

It is a bad law unprecedented in the history of world's legislation in light of the circumstances of its enactment and the process of its retrogressive revision.

This is the fascist law ruthlessly violating democracy and human rights and a basic means used by the south Korean present conservative regime to keep power and bolster its dictatorial system.

The abolition of the law is an urgent task of the times for south Korea.

However, the Lee group set up again a section specializing in the cases of violation of the NSL, saying it is immature to abolish the law. The group is also indiscriminately suppressing organizations and people struggling for national reconciliation, unity and reunification.

What should not be overlooked is the fact that the Lee group has worked hard to railroad the "North Korean Human Rights Act" through the "National Assembly", talking about someone's "human rights issue" while downplaying serious human rights abuses it committed by dint of the NSL.

This clearly proves how reckless the group has gone to escalate confrontation with fellow countrymen and achieve its ambition for "unification of systems".

The NSL has no justification to exist any longer in the present times as it antagonizes fellow countrymen and incriminates the struggle for national unity and reunification.
