Now this year's wave of CRACKDOWN TERROR against (undocumented) migrant workers got its first (more or less) prominent victim: comrade Minod 'Minu' Moktan

 
Last Thursday(10.8) morning Minu - almost 17 years ago he came from Nepal to S. Korea as a migrant worker - was arrested near his work place (MWTV office) in Seoul. Currently he's imprisoned in the Hwaseong Detention Center (about 70 km south of Seoul).

According to his friends and co-workers his arrest may be pre-planned by the Immigration Office/MoJ because of his repeated public criticism - as an MWTV activist and its anchorman - of the S.K. gov't, particularly its immigration (or rather deportation) policy.

In 2003/4 he also paticipated in the migrant workers resistance movement against the then wave of crackdown/deportation.

Since that time he's also the lead singer of the famous Stop Crackdown Band:
