Fascist Repressive Machinery "Special Police Force"
  The Japanese imperialists occupied Korea militarily at the beginning of the last century and made frantic efforts to strengthen the repressive force in a bid to oppress the anti-Japanese tendency of the Korean people growing with each passing day.
  A typical example was the "Special Police Force" organized in December 1943 under the pretext of "ensuring public security" in Korea.
  Lecturer Ri Hyon Suk at the Central Class Education House revealed the aim of the "Special Police Force" organized by the Japanese imperialists as follows:
  "The 'Special Police Force' was organized with the aim of suppressing the Korean people in case of 'emergency' such as a fear of possible rebellion or riot in Korea and notable signs of the popular sentiments in turmoil.
  The Japanese imperialists provoked the Pacific War in December 1941 and suffered disastrous defeats on the broad fronts and were in the bottomless mire in 1943.
  In order to find a way out they made more frantic efforts to maintain public peace and order of the rear and extensively increased the fascist repressive machinery to further intensify crackdown on the Korean people than ever before.
  They admitted the most vicious strong-arm policemen into the 'Special Police Force' and put them at the points of political and military importance including Pyongyang, Hamhung and Chongjin."

  It was not only the "Special Police Force" that stood in the van of implementing the barbaric oppressive policy of the Japanese imperialists.
  In July 1944 the Japanese imperialists set up the "General Headquarters for Defence" at the government-general and the "Headquarters for Defence" in every province. In this way, they kept expanding the repressive police forces in a bid to thoroughly oppress and stamp out the anti-Japanese independence movement of the Korean people.
  Due to their brutal suppression, the whole country became a prison without bars and many patriots and innocent people were killed under mediaeval tortures.
  The Japanese imperialists made frantic efforts to stamp out the Korean people by fabricating the most barbaric and fascist repressive force and their vicious atrocities can never be pardoned no matter how many years may go by and no matter how many generations may be replaced.
