S. Korean Student Organizations Protest against Puppet Authorities
Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- Student organizations in South Korea including the Federation of University Students in the 21st Century staged a protest in Seoul on March 16 denouncing the puppet authorities for sidestepping the issue of halving the registration fee.

The participants in the actions recalled that students have staged actions in solidarity with civic and public organizations, urging the Lee Myung Bak "government" to fulfill commitment to halve the registration fee.

Nevertheless, the authorities shut eyes to the raise of registration fee at universities and refused to fulfill their commitment to halve the registration fee, they said.

Holding that their militant slogan can no longer be an empty talk, they called for finding a solution to the problem of registration fee at any cost through this general election.

They stated that they would hold a rally with 20,000 students attending on March 30 to demonstrate the will of the students.

Then, representatives of student organizations had their hair cut short in token of their protest against the authorities.
