Today's topics: A new threat by MoJ & Migrant Workers' "May Day" rally

1. Ministry of "Justice" announced on Monday a new crackdown campaign as Yonhap(5.03) reported:

Illegal migrants given until Aug. 31 to leave S. Korea

South Korea will introduce a temporary grace period to allow foreigners staying here illegally to leave without punishment, the Justice Ministry said Monday, while promising to crack down on those who fail to depart ahead of the Seoul G-20 summit.

The measure will go into effect from Thursday until Aug. 31 under a government effort to reduce the number of foreign nationals staying here without permission, the ministry said. About 180,000 are estimated to be residing in South Korea illegally.
