REACTIONARIES OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!

Yo, tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon and evening could present us a very special, extraordinary event/performance in downtown Seoul!

The S.K. daily newspaper Hanguk Ilbo reported that "with tensions between protesters and anti-protest protesters on the rise" (just remember my yesterday's contribution!), hundreds of resident foreigners will be attending an

 "Anti-Candlelight Protest Demonstration" :

The "Citizens Alliance Against Radical Illegal Candlelight Demonstrations"

(NoNoDemo) announced before yesterday that 500-600 foreign students and about 100 English teachers planned to attend a rally set for 5–8pm on July 5. Some 100 foreign laborers and Korean-Americans will also attend.

An official from the group said hundreds of resident foreigners have expressed their intention to voluntarily attend the demonstration. The official said that in the face of loud demands for the beef import deal to be renegotiated, the foreigners could not voice their own opinions about US beef, and that after they learned of the alliance’s online cafe, they contacted it looking to participate. He said the largest number of foreigners would be students in their 20s—30s.

He noted that the students not only wished to oppose the radical demonstrations, but also ask the candle crowd to pay attention to North Korean human rights.

Foreigners from all over, including the United States, Australia, Canada, Europe and Japan would attend.

Korean-Americans plan to attend following a performance asking the protesters to raise their candles instead for North Korean human rights. According to the alliance, the protest will also put to rest arguments that Americans don’t eat 30-month-old beef.

The anti-protest protesters will be protected by some 300 volunteer body guards from an association of ex-North Korean soldiers (*) who have defected to the South. The alliance official said this was because previous protests have met with friction with the candle crowd, and they wished for no more.

The demonstration is expected to get some 1,000 participants, making it the largest counter-demonstration yet. The demonstration will take place at the same time as a major anti-US beef demonstration, so some are worried about a potential conflict.

* Harrharr.. that seems to be a f... good idea!! Just imagine: "ex-N.K. soldiers" are meeting thousands of KCTU militants and other "skilled street fighters"! Of course, very likely, at least 10,000 of the notorious riot cops will be also at the scene.. (BTW.. it will be - once again - "good oportunity" for "activists" of the paramilitary HID and other similar semi-fascist gangster organisations, supporting the current S.K. gov't, to come out of their dirty holes!!)

But despite all any possible - or better said impossible!! - efforts by the S.K. (and their affiliated foreign) reactionaries to disturb the current anti-gov't movement (and this includes also many migrant workers, organized in the MTU!!!):

        THE STRUGGLE GOES ON!!!      

(according to KCTU's struggle plan: at least from Saturday afternoon until Sunday 10 p.m.)

PS:
And the S.K. reactionary idiots are preparing for another "highlight"!!! (according to y'day's Money Today):

Conservative groups will be holding a US beef tasting party for some 10,000 people in downtown Seoul on July 12...
Organizers plan to get the beef for free from a Korean-American rancher in the United States.
One conservative group member said the event would be an opportunity to promote the safety of US beef to the public.
