Yesterday afternoon (11.30) a protest rally took place in front of Seoul Station to support the struggle of migrant workers in S.K. against the increasing wave of crackdown terror..
MWTV already produced and published a short documentary about the event and you can watch it here!
Almost at the same time a small bunch of reactionary idiots (racists!!) demanded in downtown Seoul from the LMB administration a "stronger crackdown" on migrant workers in S.K. Just see the following "reports" in the bourgeois media..
..by Yonhap (via today's reactionary daily newspaper JoongAng Ilbo):
Migrant workers hold posters yesterday denouncing the immigration crackdown on illegal workers and calling for full labor rights at a rally at Seoul Station. Around 300 workers attended the rally.
Meanwhile, a Korean civic group simultaneously held a rally in Daehangno, Seoul, to urge the government to come down harder on illegal workers. The conservative group argued that illegal migrant workers should be deported to protect Koreans’ job security. The two groups denounced each other.
..and by Korea Times (11.30):
Economic hard times have cornered migrant workers in Korea. With the jobless rate growing, ultra conservatives have begun to chant for ousting foreign workers, who complain about the escalation of a crackdown.
In the left photo, a member of the “Alliance for Coping With Foreign Laborers,” a civic group opposing the employment of migrant workers holds a one-man rally Sunday to call for the deportation of foreign employees overstaying their visas, on the plaza in front of Seoul Station, where migrant workers also rallied to denounce the government’s recent crackdown on illegal foreign workers. In the right photo, foreign workers chant slogans calling for the government to stop cracking down on foreign workers.
