Jong Sun Dok Remembered

    Pyongyang, April 7 (KCNA) -- A memorial service for martyr Jong Sun Dok, an unconverted long-term prisoner of south Korea, was held in Pyongyang on April 6 under the sponsorship of the Korean Measure Committee for Rescuing Unconverted Long-term Prisoners in south Korea. Jong shed blood in the fight for national reunification as a brave woman guerrilla. She died of a long illness caused by long prison life and savage torture in south Korea on April 1 before seeing the day of reunification.
    Hung in the venue of the memorial service was her portrait framed with a black ribbon. Placed before it were wreaths in the name of the Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland, the Korean Measure Committee for Rescuing Unconverted Long-term Prisoners in south Korea, the unconverted long-term prisoners, the National Reconciliation Council, the North Headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification and the North Headquarters of the National Alliance of Youth and Students for the Country's Reunification.
    Its participants observed a moment's silence in memory of Jong who devoted her whole life to the cause of national reunification.
    Mun Jae Chol, chairman of the Korean Measure Committee for Rescuing Unconverted Long-term Prisoners in south Korea, and Kim Tong Gi, an unconverted long-term prisoner, made memorial addresses at the service.
    A memorial poem was recited there.
