SUPPORTERS of the Korean revolution
returned to the picket the south Korean embassy to protest against the
oppressive regime, whose leader was greeted at Buckingham Palace last week. New
Communist Party leader Andy Brooks joined the demonstration called by the UK
Korean Friendship Association outside the embassy in London on 7th
November to protest against the state visit of fascist puppet Park Geun Hye
last week.
Dermot Hudson, KFA Official
Delegate and chair of the Juché Idea Study Group, opened the picket by saying:
“The south Korean embassy is a joke and should not exist as south Korea is not
a state. South Korea has no independence; south Korea is totally dependent on
the United States and indeed was created by the US.
“Today south
Korean puppet ruler Park Geun Hye is on a state visit to the UK and is being
entertained at the expense of the British taxpayer despite huge cutbacks in
public spending. Park is as dictator like her father Park Chung Hee.”
General Park
Chung Hee came to power in a military coup in 1961 and ruled with an iron fist
until he was assassinated by the head of his own intelligence service during a
power struggle in 1979. His daughter is now following in her father’s footsteps
by banning the Unified Progressive Party as well as the Teachers Union.
The
demonstrators waved the DPR Korea flag in front of the puppet embassy as well
as the UK KFA banner and maintained a barrage of slogans throughout the 90-minute
afternoon protest action.
The picketers
exchanged banter with a couple of journalists from NK News, an anti-DPRK front that poses as an independent news
agency, and a man who said he was a north Korean defector living in London.
They also had to put up with the unwelcome attention of a member of the puppet
embassy staff who went around taking close-up photographs of the protesters in
an amateurish attempt to intimidate the demonstrators and presumably for the
records of the south Korean intelligence service!
