GIs' Crimes Unabated in S. Korea

Pyongyang, November 9 (KCNA) -- A string of sexual assaults against teenage schoolgirls by the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces in south Korea greatly angered all the Koreans.

The history of their occupation of south Korea is a crime-woven one in which the Korean nation's dignity and rights have been ruthlessly trampled down.

From the first day of their occupation of south Korea GIs glaringly disclosed their true colors as brutal human rights abusers and killers.

Their crimes against women baffled human imagination, in particular.

In 1998 a GI sneaked into the room of Ho Ju Yon, employee of a restaurant in Uijongbu of Kyonggi Province, and sexually assaulted her. Then he attacked her vital point, making her fall unconscious. This brute set the room on fire, burning the innocent women to death.

In 1996 a GI strangled to death Ri Ki Sun who resisted him and then mutilated her with knife in Tongduchon of Kyonggi Province.

Still fresh in the memory of the Koreans is the abnormal way by which a GI killed Yun Kum I in 1992.

The killing of two schoolgirls by a U.S. armored car in 2002 indicts the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces in south Korea for their brutality and effrontery.

GIs are utterly indifferent to the people's life.

Not even a single day has passed without people shedding blood for over six decades in south Korea due to the U.S. imperialist aggressors who have been trained in extreme misanthropy and brutality.

Endless are crimes committed by GIs in south Korea including the incident in Kunsan in which a GI opened fire on a girl who was picking edible herbs, calling her a pheasant, the helicopter incident in Puphyong in which a shoeshine boy was groundlessly charged as a thief and stabbed on the knees and arms before being put in a box and thrown away from helicopter, the incident in Phaju in which a farmer gathering firewood was shot to death being called a roe deer and the incident of M16 rifle test fire in which GIs leveled guns at several inhabitants and opened fire on them, killing them on the spot.

GIs' crimes increased to more than 300 cases in 2009 from about 170 in 2002. Last year the number reached over 370.

Since a nighttime curfew was lifted for the U.S. imperialist aggressors in south Korea in July 2010, such crimes as robbery, rape, extortion and violence have shown marked increase, in particular.
