Tragic Cases Occur in S. Korean Puppet Army
Pyongyang, July 10 (KCNA) -- A south Korean puppet army soldier shot his several colleagues to death at a Kanghwado coastal post of the Second Division of the Marine Corps on July 4, the south Korean KBS reported. It was confirmed that this tragedy was caused due to the harsh treatment by his superiors of the unit, it added.

It is daily occurrences at this unit that superiors beat soldiers at random, seared their arms with burning cigarettes and put insecticides into trousers to irk them. And soldiers' freedom of religion is also suppressed.

On July 3 a soldier of the unit, availing himself of an opportunity of outing, committed suicide by tying his neck at the balustrade of a building in Juksan-myon, Ansong City, Kyonggi Province, unable to bear the brutal behavior of his superiors.

The number of the soldiers who had been carried to hospitals due to diseases caused by the superiors' beating at the First and Second Divisions of the puppet Marine Corps reached more than 900 in the past two years, the report said.
