Anti-U.S. Rally in S. Korea
2003-08-21
They’re butchering English again.
A person to person belt forming rally opposing the U.S. threat of war to the Korean peninsula and demanding a stop to the suppression of the South Korean Federation of University Student Councils (Hanchongryon) was reportedly held in front of the U.S. 8th Army base in Ryongsan, Seoul, on August 16. The rally was a part of the August 15 reunification function.
Person to person belt forming rallys? What the hell is that?
Participating there were members of the Reunification Solidarity, the National People’s Solidarity, the All-people Measure Committee for the Death of Schoolgirls and citizens and students, at least 5,000 in all.
The All-people Measure Committee for the Death of Schoolgirls? I know they’re hungry, but,... jeez.
Kwon Yong Gil, representative of the Democratic Workers’ Party, addressing the rally said the Bush administration should make it clear to the international community that it has no intention to mount a preemptive attack on the north and conclude a non-aggression treaty with the north in the name of the U.S. government. He strongly urged the U.S. forces, the regime and the conservative media to stop suppressing Hanchongryon, saying that the students’ struggle against the U.S. troops’ war exercises was righteous.
Like, righteous, man. Who wrote this, Linc Hayes from the Mod Squad?
A resolution was read out there.
Out there, indeed.
The resolution called for a turnout in a struggle to frustrate the U.S. moves to blockade the north and launch a war as they drive the situation on the peninsula to a higher pitch of strain.
Ouch! Sounds painful.
At the end of the rally, the participants tried to enclose the base but failed due to the riot police.
...and a new group was formed, The All-people Measure Committee for the Death of Riot Police.
