Intensifying struggle against the National Security Law

The struggle to abrogate the National Security Law is getting further intensified in south Korea on the occasion of the 59th year of the fabrication of this anti-reunification and anti-democracy evil law, a remnant of the confrontation era. On November 2, a testimony rally of the victims of the NSL was held in Seoul under the subject “Let us terminate the barbarous era by repealing the NSL”.
The participants emphasized the need for dismantling all the cold war-minded laws and mechanisms that hamstring the inter-Korean relations at an early date.
The Society of National Literature Writers, the Lawyers for Democratic Society and the National Council of Professors for Democracy and other civic organizations sponsored a seminar to demonstrate the urgency of repealing the NSL, stressing that the evil law must be abrogated as soon as possible for the sake of reconciliation and cooperation between the south and the north of Korea and the realization of peaceful reunification. Different personages from the religious, academic, cultural and art and medical circles called a press conference in Seoul denouncing the NSK as a pronoun of the human rights violation and a deadlock to the peaceful reunification.
They called on all the people to turn out in the struggle to repeal the evil law.
The mass actions to demand the abolition of the NSL which were vigorously staged around the National Assembly building under the auspices of the People's Solidarity for Abrogating the NSL showed again the militant volition of the south Korean people not to tolerate any longer the anti-nation, anti-democracy and anti-reunification law.
The people from all walks of life including workers, farmers, youth and students, intellectuals and members of civic organizations conducted hunger strikes and demonstrations demanding the passage of a resolution for abrogating the NSL. The south Korean people condemned the NSL, a big stumbling block on the way of the development of the inter-Korean relations, common peace and prosperity of the nation and the national reunification, as an evil law that must be repealed through a rally of the action day of the intellectuals for abrogating the NSL held in front of Gwanghwamun, the publication of the declaration for repealing the NSL signed by 1,004 personages from different strata in the Busan area and the publication of “the report on the anti-human rights crimes of the public security organs” by the organizations striving to repeal the NSL. Like this, the south Korean people are staging the vigorous struggle with a staunch will to abrogate the National Security Law, bitterly denouncing it as an evil law of the era which mercilessly infringes upon the elementary democratic freedom and rights and human rights, and blocks the reunification of the countr
