A most baxbiic crime çonimi#ed by the US against the Korean people was the use of chernical weapoas, a means of mass destructicm. Behwea Febmmy 1951 to July 1953, the US boops used many chernid weaps in 24 cities, ~esaadfioatlinedistRctsmKilagwonR.ovM~N.&S.)iwan~Pn,Ym~d~aiadS.Pyongan Province of the DPRK.

Hwanghse ProvincevinceIn the mght of May 18,1952, they also dropped bivalves con- witb toxicants in Taedong County m S. Pyongan Province. The US troaps took evem the POWs of the Komm People's Amy, as tée objetas of poisanMg experiment, thus killmg tbem. 10 On June 10, 1952, the US troops mobiiized 27 tanks and 12 guns to fire chernical sheiis to the PûWs, thus killuig 227 and iujining many of them saiousiy. On Jdy 7,1952, Boutner, the Head of Kojedo POW Camp,tested a gas-weapon against 120 POWs, who were detaincd in Battalion 4. He, mer wiîh two Amuican soldiers, took them in two speciaüy-made tnicks to the place about 3 kiloineters away from the Pier No. 1 for the gas- pDisoniag test. As a result, al1 of them could not open their eyes for two months aod became disabled. On August 13,1952, the US troops in the PûW Camp No. 2, in Ryongcbo Is detained mrmy POWs in a mow wireentaan;led ara, and mobilizeû îheir two platoons to ike 1,000 gas &eh for poisonhg expriment. As a resdt, more than 350 were seriously burnt, 44 lost tbeir consciousness, 4 ctied, 3 lost hearing sense and 6 bsî their sighî completely. @ Attocities against PûWs The US troops torhad aad killed tbe POWs of the Korm People's Amiy in a most me1way.

The US troops ttmted ttie POWs of the Korean Peopiets Army in an inhumane way, fàr from their obligation to provide the iaüea with all living COIidifions, hywcand medical. in November 1950, the US troops stationed in Pyongyang put taiousands of the POWs hto the Mding of the Pyongyang TdeMiü, whicb wuid not keep thean off the coldness, and rain and snow. As a resuft, 15 POWs died of the epidemic disease betwem November lO-S3,l%O. Between December 1950 to March 10,1950, the US militwy suthorities kept tens of ttiousands of the PûWs in camps on the paddy fields near the Pusan Airport and ibd diem to hard labour without proMdmg living muditions for ttiem, thus causing four fifths of them to lx sick in eacb of theh camps, 7 or 8 pisoners were ddykiiled, At 6 pm. on Scptemh 17, 1951, Co1onel Rolrin, the Comma& of the POW Camp No 78 on Kojedo Island, issued an order ta encircle the camp and kiîl al1 the POWs, who were disobedient to theirunre8~0aabbdd.

As a rd,in Febwq aime more tban 30 were killed on the spot, 380 were seized with serious illness and 17 were wounded

Eariy in January 1952, the US iroops raised an issue of ''vohmtruy repatriation" in order to bar the KPA war prisoners fiom th& repatriation. On Apd 7,1%2, the US m&q authorities ordead to prrocetd witb "the individuai intaMav and check," which to be scheduled on April9, in sucb a way as to prevent the wii~prisoners fnnn being sent back From 7 p.m. on Aprd 8, they ded out the war prisoners indîvidually to the "CIA schooi" and, threstcniag with pistols, compeiicd the latta to stay in th sdof Korea And in the dthcykilltdmdeJsJy170warpisonerswhodKiaotobcytfKf0ntlg'. ûn Apd 10, 1952, the milituüy authorhies of the POW Camp No 76 in Kojado Island distnbuteû papers toîhewarprisonenand said: "Thosewho wantto beropaatiatcdtotbcnorth, sbaU wxitta 1etter'N'm then paper, ami tbose who want to stay M the south, &all wnte a 1- 'Sn.Then they selectad thoBe wbo cailed îbr ropatratio& and seme& tartured rrad killed 90 war prîmcrs.

O Atrocities of the Medical Test The US tmops took the POWs of the KPA as the objects of tbeh variow medical tests that had never been applied to the hunum being - the objocor of the expiment far American medical students, the obj- fbm which they coufd coflect firasments of human boncs m orâer to trtat tlie Am&m wounded, and tSit objects of testmg the mcdical eMofmedicines. On Septcmber 25, 1950, the authorities of the Pwan POW Camp N0.3, a wctr primer sumamed Pak, who received a pien:& bulld-wd without any mjuly to his bone, was handed over to the Am&- medicd studgtts fw tbeir expcht hrcuüing ihe human body, which had nathing to do witb bis and as a rcsutt, lost tbe 10- part of his l& 1eg. On Jmuary 6, 1951, a US Captain SUra in the Pwin 14& Fieid Hospital eut off bones &om a war prison= swnamed Cho - a 7-cetibinmeter borie from the Iowa part of his Ieft le& a 15-centimeter bone fK,m the lmpwt of bis right leg and a 8-çentimeter long bone £tom his right hipbones - for the treatmcnt of thit Americstl wounded.

0 Ef&gacv Test of Various W- The US troops useû the KPA POWs as the objbcts of efnciency test of various weapons incladhg nuclear weapons. In the mid-May 1951, an Amenclai "Medicd Ship" No. 19, CLtlCha'ng a mile off the Fia No. 2 of KomIsaand, took aôouî 1,500 KPA prisoogJ ficm the PûW Camps Nos. 61,62,63 and 64 ad startad sail. At that time an Amcrican sageant, th& watcSnnan, pointed at the ship and said tîmt they wodd bc useû fbr tbt explosion test of the A-bomb.
