South Korean revolutionaries founded the liberation strategy party and waged an active struggle so as to drive out the US imperialist aggressor forces from south Korea and put an end to their colonial rule.
Bewildered by the development, the US imperialists and the Park Jung Hee puppet clique arrested and imprisoned Kwon Jae Hyok, founder and leader of the party, and other 12 patriots in August 1968 and brought them to barbaric tortures. On January 18, 1969 they put on trial the revolutionaries associated with the founding of the party sentencing two of them to death penalty and others to penal servitude for life and for 16 years.
