Kim Jong Un Sends Apparatuses for Experiment and Practice to Kim Il Sung University

Pyongyang, February 5 (KCNA) -- Supreme leader Kim Jong Un sent latest apparatuses for experiment and practice needed for education and scientific researches to Kim Il Sung University.

Kim Jong Un put forward the education of younger generations as the most important work on which the rise or fall of the country hinge and indicated the road of drastically improving education in the new century. He also showed great benevolence to turn the university into the highest seat where the Juche-oriented education science is applied.

The apparatuses reflect his intention to defend President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il's idea of attaching importance to education and their feats and bring about a great turn in the education and thus glorify the DPRK as the country of education and a country of a contingent of talents.

    A meeting for conveying the apparatuses took place on Wednesday.

Lee Myung Bak Accused of Hurting DPRK

Pyongyang, February 5 (KCNA) -- Lee Myung Bak, a traitor to the nation, should have been severely punished by the nation and thrown into the dumping ground of history. However, he published his "memoir" recently in which he misinterpreted the course of the informal north-south contacts in a bid to dare hurt the DPRK.

A spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea released a statement on Thursday in this regard: What Lee described in his "memoir" is touching off astonishment and derision as he revealed his true colors as an idiot.

It is the height of impudence that he took issue with the past north-south summits and utterly misinterpreted the course of discussion by making profound confusing of right and wrong. We can elaborate on what happened. But we would like to just recall that whenever he found himself in deepening ruling crisis during his tenure of office, Lee reached out to the DPRK in a bid to seek a way out, talking about "dispatch of a special envoy" and "summit." He pretended to do some favor for the north each time.

The DPRK has all evidence to prove such fact. His recent reckless act of malignantly hurting the DPRK by misrepresenting the course of the informal north-south contacts once again brought to light before the world his true colors as thrice-cursed depraved politician and base philistine. Lee's recent publication of his "memoir" peppered with lies is aimed at evading his responsibility for driving the north-south relations into the worst catastrophe and chilling the atmosphere for mending the north-south relations now growing strong and divert elsewhere the public criticism of his thrice-cursed crimes.
The DPRK cannot but express serious concern about whether it will be possible to discuss the important issue of the nation with reckless guys of south Korea as brazen-faced as Lee. Lee would be well advised to write "a memoir" repenting of his acts of treachery as he deserves history's stern punishment.
    The DPRK will closely follow the developments in south Korea.

KCNA COMMENTARY ACCUSES S. KOREAN REGIME OF ITS MOVES TO REVISE FASCIST LAW FOR WORSE

Pyongyang, February 5 (KCNA) -- Shortly ago, the minister of Justice of south Korea cried out for revising the "Security Law" (SL) in such a manner as to forcibly dissolve the "anti-state organizations" and "those benefiting enemy", adding he would push ahead with it as his top priority task this year.
The chief executive of south Korea supported his plan. This is an unpardonable criminal act of totally stamping out the pro-independence, democracy and reunification forces and pushing the north-south relations to the worst catastrophe. The SL fabricated by the Syngman Rhee clique in 1948 is an unheard-of fascist law that brands the DPRK as an enemy. It has been in force to mercilessly suppress south Korean people's patriotic and democratic activities and struggle for national reunification and even trifling acts of political opponents after labeling them "anti-government ones sympathizing with the north." Chief executives were replaced by others in south Korea many times but the SL has remained in force and more than one million people had been severely punished by the law until 2013.

It is as clear as a pikestaff that there would be neither democracy in south Korea nor repaired north-south relations as long as there is such mechanism for harsh dictatorship and institutional barrier that brands compatriots in the north as enemy and incriminates even meeting with them and talking to them.
The DPRK has never forced its ideology and system upon south Korea but staged the movement for reunification in the idea of the joint declarations the north and the south agreed upon. South Korean people have also staged actions in line with the common aspiration of humankind for democracy and in the idea of the programmes for reunification being supported by all Koreans. So, the DPRK should not be considered as an enemy of the south Korean authorities nor south Korean people be punished on the charge of "sympathizing with the north."

It is a mere commonplace that dialogue and cooperation are taking place between countries with differing ideologies and social systems in the world. In the light of not only misfortune and pain all Koreans have suffered but also the global trend; there is neither ground nor justification for the SL to remain in force.

Nevertheless, the south Korean authorities are working hard to revise the SL for the worse, not content with brutally suppressing the legitimate organizations and personages calling for national reconciliation and reunification by invoking it from the outset of the year. Their move is an open challenge to all sincere efforts made by the DPRK to bring about a great turn and change in the north-south relations and an unpardonable act of trampling down the ardent desire and expectation of all Koreans.

The SL is now not only rejected by all Koreans but censured as an anti-human rights law by international organizations such as the UN and even the U.S. The SL should be repealed at once.
