Well, last night my comrades from MTU (Migrant Workers' Trade Union) uploaded for me a video message (THANX, dear dongji!!):

Made by 숲속홍길동同志

And they wrote following for me:

"..of course we are fighting an increasingly dangerous fight... These days we cannot even obtain permission for rallies and demonstrations. Crackdown is worse than ever and many of our comrades are being caught. Remember Kabir? He was caught on Sunday. We trying everything we can to get him released, and of course he is fighting very hard inside immigration. Down with EPS!!"

Kabir - a.k.a. "Seongsu"/"Cooking" Kabir(^^) is/was one of our most active members in MTU/ex ETU-MB. Beside his work of organization in the migrant worker community in SK, especially in the area where he was working and living, he was one of the most active persons during our one year sit-in strike in Myeong-dong in 2003/2004 (coming week I'll write more about it).

Comrade Kabir, arrested last Sunday by immigration cops

Of course MTU will have today (11.11) during the "Workers Struggle Culture Night" (I call it like that, actually originally it is called: 전국노동자대회 전야제)  - from the late evening until the early (??) morning - in Yeouido's Culture Park their own solidarity tent. JUST VISIT THEM!!!(*)
