Action for Reinstatement A nationwide campaign for release of member Lee Seok-gi of the Unified Progressive Party and reinstatement of the UPP is brisk throughout south Korea. Lee’s arrest is a foolish farce that the Park Geun-hye regime incited the former president Yang Soong-tae of the Supreme Court and henchmen of judicial circles to fabricate the case when the nationwide anti-government protests were held by scandal of fraudulent presidential election in December 2014.      The Supreme Court sentenced Lee (He is in prison) to nine years in prison on charge of violation of the National Security Law and eventually the UPP was dissolved. On Dec. 19, the measure committee for probing truth behind forced dissolution and reinstatement of the UPP urged the government to make a stern investigation into the dissolution of the UPP and release of Lee.    The measure committee called a news conference outside the Supreme Court at which it claimed th...

Get out from south Korea ! On December 15, the ninth monthly meeting against the US was held outside the US embassy in Seoul. About 300 people across south Korea and foreigners who had taken part in an international conference joined the meeting despite the biting cold of 15 degrees below zero. The monthly meeting, which started from last May 3, concluded with the ninth meeting. Saying that the year 2018 was a year of great turn in national history and epoch-making change, they hardened their resolve to launch a stubborn action against the US, the greatest obstacle to implementation of inter-Korean declarations and peaceful settlement, as the next year would be acuter and fiercer by the structure of the Korean nation versus the US confrontation.    The US is only engaged in the invasion of other countries but it ignores negotiation in a peaceful way and breaks its promise under the pretext of sanctions and human rights abuse, however, the era is gone when the U...

Covering Scandal On Dec. 5, civic organizations including the Citizens Solidarity for Democratic Society called a news conference outside the National Assembly and office building of the Liberty Korea Party. The LKP’s veto on “Kindergarten Act 3” seeks that it would not care random spare of money by the principal of kindergarten which were donated by the parents of kindergarteners, the participants blamed.   It is intolerable that the LKP is patronizing the principals of private kindergartens who were engaged in scandals, irrespective of the parents, they noted.   They strongly urged the National Assembly to pass the “Kindergarten Act 3” to meet the desire of the people who are desirous of extermination of scandal and impartiality of children education. The current situation substantiates the LKP is absorbed in protection of evil and its political maneuver, indifferent to the people’s livelihood. It is quite natural that the south Koreans have strongly demand...

Go out of the world! The joint action of civic and social organizations wishing for the abrogation of the National Security Law held a press conference before the building of the National Assembly on December 1 on the lapse of 70 years since the fabrication of the NSL. Speakers said that the NSL was enforced under the pretext of "uprooting the left" 70 years ago, but, as a matter of fact, it was fabricated in accordance with the intention of foreign forces to divide the Korean Peninsula and dominate it. This evil law has been used in branding democratic forces as "spy" and "the left" and cracking down them for a long time, they noted. The Liberty Korea Party takes a stand against the abolition of the NSL, the parent body of the “Law for Maintenance of the Public Peace” to oppress the anti-Japanese fighters for independence in the Japanese colonial rule, that is why the LKP is well-known to the world as the pro-Japanese political party, they cha...
