North Korean School students raise voice of anger: ‘No to discrimination’ Mobilizing 1000 citizens
“No to discrimination against North Korean Schools. Don’t exclude North Korean Schools from free tuition program for high school” Citizens’ Action was held at Shiba Park, Tokyo on June 27. 1000 citizens attended the action and more than 140 organizations, more than double the number for the previous action, signed the endorsement for the action.
350 students from North Korean Schools attended the action. The president of the students’ association of Tokyo Korean Secondary Schools reported that students’ association from 10 high schools nationwide had formed a liaison committee to run a signature campaign for applying free tuition to Korean Schools. The vice-president of the students’ association said, “Our grief has turned into determination to win”. The action is steadily expanding. Let’s get concrete results from the action.
