S. Korean Regime Indicted for Human Rights Abuses

Pyongyang, July 23 (KCNA) -- The Democratic Lawyers Association of Korea and the DPRK Association of Human Rights Studies on July 22 issued a joint indictment to disclose the criminal contents and anti-human rights nature of south Korea's "National Security Law" and the Lee Myung Bak regime's violations of human rights.
The NSL is the most draconian law applicable to all activities of those going against the requirements and interests of the ruling quarters on charges of "state disturbance" and "threat to state existence".
This law has steadily undergone a retrogressive revision to be a tool for maintaining the fascist dictatorial system and escalating the confrontation with compatriots.
The indictment cites concrete data to prove that since the very day it took office the Lee Myung Bak regime revived the NSL and fascist dictatorial system and has savagely violated the rights of the south Koreans.
It arrested Rev. Han Sang Ryol, who visited the DPRK last year marking the 10th anniversary of the publication of the June 15 joint declaration, by dint of the NSL.
The regime even invokes NSL to suppress the people demanding basic rights including the right to existence and the right to learning.
