Free Comrade Kajiman, Masum and Raju!

November 28,2007

The Asia Pacific Workers Solidarity Link (APWSL-Korea)condemn in the strongest terms possible the illegal arrest and detention of Comrade Kajiman, Masum, and Raju, President, Vice President and the General Secretary of the Migrant Trade Union by the Korean Immigration.

The APWSL Korea hold the Roh Mo Hyun government responsible for this fascist attack against Comrade Kajiman,Masun and Raju. The APWSL Korea will make these government fully accountable for any harm and dirty act that may befall Comrade Kajiman, Masum, and Raju while under Chongju detention center, including possible deportation to their respective countries.

Arresting Comrade Kajiman, Masum and Raju signals the intensification of all sorts of legal manipulations, judicial proceedings and dirty tricks against the MTU personnel.

The government mistakenly believe that their arrest will weaken the Migrant Trade Unio. They are completely wrong in thinking that by incarcerating these people will put a stop to the rapid growth of the militant and progressive migrant unions in Korea.

In having Comrade Kajiman,Masum and Raju arrested, the Roh Mo Hyun government has succeeded only in further fueling the militant movement and the migrants worker’s anger against his brutal government

The APWSL Korea calls on all workers and friends in Korea and other countries, the international progressive and civil rights movement and other anti-imperialist and democratic forces and people around the world to act now and help safeguard the rights and life of Comrade Kajiman, Masum and Raju

We express complete support and solidarity to the protest actions in the Korea, We anticipate protest actions to intensify in the coming days in order to denounce the arrest, demand the Roh Mo Hyun government to immediately release Comrade Kajiman, Masum and Raju and stop the governments from subjecting them to further fascist attacks and harassment.

Free Comrade Kajiman, Masum and Raju!

Stop Crackdown!  Legalize All Migrant Workers
