12.8: COMRADE RADHIKA WAS ARRESTED
BY IMMIGRATION COPS!
Before yesterday, 12.8, about 8:30pm, Radhika Subbha from Nepal, a key activist in the Migrant Workers Trade Union (MTU) was arrested in a crackdown at Uijeongbu Station. Radhika is the main organizer of female migrant workers in S. Korea and has been involved in the struggle for migrants rights for several years. Last year, she participated in the sit-in struggle at Myeong Dong Cathedral and went on a
30 day hunger strike to protest against the kidnapping of Samar Thapa, the then chairperson of ETU-MB's (Equality Trade Union - Migrants' Branch) Emergency Struugle Committee and to oppose the implementation of Korea's regressive and racist immigration law, EPS (Employment Permit System). Radhika is also one of our best co-workers in MWTV (Migrant Workers TV).
Radhika was traveling to Uijeongbu to help a friend obtain a job.
Now she is arrested in Mok-dong Deportation Center.
Especially after her 30-days hunger strike her health conditions are very bad.
You can visit her today, Saturday, 12.10, until am 11:30 in Mok-dong.
Give her POWER thru the bars!!!
