Last evening(12.19) in Seoul: 30,000 KCTU members(incl. 10,000 railway workers), civil rights activists and citizens gathered in front of City Hall(more detailed reports in Korean you'll get here) in solidarity with the KRWU strike(related updated articles in English you can read here), to mark the anniversary of president Park Geun-hye's election and called on her to keep her promise not to pursue rail privatization...

KRWU's chairman Kim Myeong-hwan(he's still hiding in KCTU's HQ to avoid his planned detention....) addressed the crowd via video message. Stating clearly that, "the strike will go on unabated" despite the government and KORAIL's increasing repression he called on all KRWU/KCTU members to participate in mass protests/candlelight rallies planned for December 21 and 23.
