Rodong Sinmun Discloses Japanese Imperialists' Fabrication of "Korea-Japan Protocol"

Pyongyang, February 24 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Monday dedicates an article to the Japanese imperialists' fabrication of the "Korea-Japan Protocol" on Feb. 23, 1904.

The "Korea-Japan Protocol" clearly proves that the Japanese imperialists' occupation of Korea was a brazen-faced and brigandish act, the article says, and goes on:

The fabrication of the protocol was a part of the preparations of the Japanese imperialists to occupy Korea by force of arms and totally colonize it.

The Japanese imperialists fabricated the aggressive protocol after occupying the whole of Korea by force of arms.

The protocol was the brigandish product of the Japanese imperialists' persistent violence.

It is clearly evidenced by the threat and blackmail, kidnapping and detention of the supreme ruler and high-ranking officials of the feudal government of Korea.

The protocol was an aggressive document that provided a legal guarantee to occupy Korea by force of arms under the pretext of "protection".

The Japanese imperialists, talking about the "peace on the Orient" and "independence of Korea and preservation of its territory" in the protocol, tried to cover up their aggressive nature. But it is very self-evident that their act was aimed to impose heavy burdens for war upon the Korean people while using Korea as a theater of aggressive war and to lay the foundation for monopolizing it as their total colony.

The Japanese imperialists fabricated the "Ulsa (1905) Five-point Treaty" and the "Korea-Japan Annexation Treaty" in 1910 in a brigandish manner and thus annexed the territory of Korea to them.

The hideous crimes of the Japanese imperialists who forced the Korean people into all unequal treaties and mercilessly seized the sovereignty of Korea will certainly face the stern judgment of history. -0-
