12.8: COMRADE RADHIKA WAS ARRESTED
BY IMMIGRATION COPS!
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 Struggle 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).
Of course she also participated in the current occupation of the National Human Right Commission (NHRC) in Seoul.
Radhika was traveling, when she was arrested, 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 tomorrow, Saturday, until am 11:30 in Mok-dong.
Give her POWER thru the bars!!!

Yesterday (local time) after I got the information about her I was checking the entire night the web about news about her in Korean, but I wasn't able to find something... not on MTU, not on MW Broadcasting.. nowhere.
Today in the morning (CET), like usual, I just was checking my ...'s blog and surprisingly I found this (very detailed and with a lot of background..고맙습니다!!) about Radhika in Korean:
