Regarding to the scandalous and criminal act, of closing by Google the Korean Friendship Association UK channel on YouTube, on the 5th of March 2024
The leadership of Korean Friendship Association UK, strongly oppose and condemn this illegal and criminal act, made by Google. We are of the opinion, that this is definitely a politically motivated action that is part of a propaganda war, led by the US and its western servants, it is an action that not only denies false claims about so – called: ‘western freedom of speech’ – which is complete fiction and this pathetic act of the YouTube platform confirms it, but also an action full of desperate anger in response to the effective and strong activity of KFA UK on the front of the struggle against lies and slander about Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and in defending and spreading the truth and the true face of this country.
As we noticed and condemned, in the recent past, there have been other hostile and unlawful acts by removed them pages against our friendly organizations: KFA Turkey, KFA Andalusia, Explore DPRK and also threats and acts of bullying and harassment against the ‘Polish People’s Initiative’ by the para-governmental organizations of the Polish liberal ruling classes hostile to the DPRK.
All these hostile and illegal acts of deleting channels and websites in the Internet space show, that the forces hostile to DPRK and same to us, are afraid of the truth about DPRK, and therefore are afraid of us – who show this truth and thus actively and militancy deny the distorted and untrue image of DPRK, as the international family of Korean Friendship Association and its fraternal organizations do all over the world.
Moreover, in the pathetic acts of deleting our channels and websites, they show how cowardly they are in their actions, cowardly because they secretly prefer to delete websites and media channels – than show who concrete and why precisely do it, and by this justify their scoundrel behavior. This is because there is no justification for them either. Thus, they disgrace themselves by acting against freedom of speech and information as well as acting against international ethical and moral norms.
The leadership of the Korean Friendship Association UK and all members of KFA UK, in response to this hostile act, will significantly increase their propaganda activities in new forms, places and contents and will take appropriate steps to respond to this act, in the appropriate manner, regulated by international law. The hostility does not stop the truth!
Defend People’s Korea with No Ifs and No But’s!
Dermot Hudson Chairman, Korean Friendship Association UK,
Alan Bolon Organization Secretary, Korean Friendship Association UK
