Actions for Peace, Independence and People's Living Called for in S. Korea
Pyongyang, June 14 (KCNA) -- A meeting to commemorate the 27th anniversary of the June Popular Resistance took place in Seoul on June 10 under the sponsorship of the Society for Inheriting the June Democratic Resistance, the Joint Council of Civic and Public Organizations and the Solidarity for Progress of south Korea.

Present there were members of civic and social organizations, lawmakers from opposition parties and other people from all walks of life.

At the meeting speakers said 27 years have passed since the June resistance but the situation remains as urgent as in 1987.

The draconian dictatorial regime, which sought to cover up the death of Ri Han Ryol who was mercilessly killed for taking part in the June resistance, is quite same as the present ruling forces working hard to conceal the truth about the ferry Sewol disaster, they held.

Corrupt and incompetent Park Geun Hye and the "Saenuri Party" keen on actions against democracy and the people and acts of treachery are putting up the slogan for eliminating some forces, but they are the very ones to be eliminated, they added.

They urged the authorities to transform Chongwadae, the "Saenuri Party", pro-Japanese elements and remnants of the "yusin" clique before talking about reshuffle.

The spirit of the June resistance will be overridden unless the truth about the past illegal "presidential" election and the ferry Sewol disaster is probed and those responsible are punished, they stressed.

They called for turning out once again in actions for peace of this land, social independence and people's vital rights.
