S. Korean Conservatives' Praise of Erstwhile Dictator under Fire
Pyongyang, February 23 (KCNA) -- The solidarity for defending the just history grouping organizations of people from all walks of life to check the moves to beautify the pro-Japanese and dictatorial actions and the retrogressive revision of textbooks issued a statement on Feb. 21 denouncing the conservative regime for praising the dictatorship of Park Chung-Hee.

Accusing the conservative forces of opening a library praising Park who left an indelible blot in the history of politics of south Korea, the statement noted that this would be recorded as one more reckless action against history.

It branded such action of the conservatives as part of the moves to justify their privilege and prolong it.

In case that such action is allowed, it will eventually lead to the tragic praises of dictators Chun Doo Hwan and Roh Thae Woo, and it will be absolutely impossible for all south Koreans to free from the tyrannical rule of dictators, it noted.

The statement urged the conservatives to close the library, declaring that Park is not a man to be praised but to be cursed for all ages.
