The Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK), the Juche Idea Study Group of England(JISGE) and the UK Korean Friendship Association (UK KFA )today issued a joint statement in support of the indictment published by the Korean National Peace Committee of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK) on the 18th of February ;
Our organisations, the ASSPUK, JISGE and UK KFA, support the indictment made against the US and south Korea by the National Peace Committee of the DPRK. The US has committed the most barbaric crimes in history against the people of the DPRK by using biological and chemical warfare and this has been connived at and defended by the south Korean puppets who fawn on their imperialist master.

The US imperialists took over the biological warfare programme of the Japanese imperialists , the notorious Unit 731 . They created a special biological warfare centre at Fort Detrick, Maryland , USA . As the indictment states " At the instructions of MacArthur, the then commander of the U.S. forces in the Far East, Shiro Ishii and other war criminals of the unit were involved in the
research of germ weapons carried out by the U.S. forces.
The data of the unit were transferred to a unit of the U.S. forces known as a center for the study of biological weapons at that time and U.S. scientists worked out more than 20 kinds of study reports based on it.
Based on the data presented by Japanese experts on germ warfare and its own researches, the U.S. carried out several experiments of germ weapons spreading cholera and Japanese encephalitis among south Koreans in 1946 and 1949.
The U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff drafted an emergency operational plan for germ warfare based on it and put the plan into practice against the Korean people during the Korean war...... The U.S. imperialist aggression forces who had put the northern half of Korea under their temporary occupation during the June 25 war were beaten back by the Korean People's Army and took to flight when they spread in a crafty manner a number of contagious disease germs including smallpox in many areas including Pyongyang, Yangdok County of South Phyongan Province and Kowon and Jangjin counties of South Hamgyong Province between November 29 to December 8, 1950"
The criminal actions of the US in using germ warfare were confirmed at the time by the International Scientific Commission of the World Peace Council which sent an on the spot investigation team which included the renown British scientist Professor Joseph Needham FRS. Also at the time by confessions of captured US personnel.


Although the Yankee imperialists have persistently attempted to deny the use of germ warfare and cover up the truth , documents released in recent years reconfirm the facts. The use of biological weapons,outlawed by international conventions, by the US constitutes a mostbarbaric crime without parallel and one that exceeds the war crimes of the nazis !
The US also used illegal chemical weapons in Korea " During the indiscriminate bombing of Nampho City on May 6, 1951, the U.S. spread toxic gas, killing 1 379 inhabitants. On July 6 and September 1 it dropped tear, asphyxiating and other toxic gases in the area of Wonsan and several areas of South and North Hwanghae provinces, poisoning and killing many people".

Thus the US imperialists stand indicted as war criminals without equal ! We support the call of the Korean National Peace Committee for the US imperialists to be brought before an international war crimes tribunal and be finally made to account for their crimes ! We urge everyone to study and distribute the indictment of the Korean National Peace Committee. Let us expose the crimes of the US imperialists !
