Yesterday afternoon in downtown Seoul: About 3000 people, mainly activists from labour, solidarity and resistance movements, "celebrated" the end of Lee Myung-bak's (aka "MB") 2nd year in office. MB won the presidential election in December 2007.
This year's "highlights" of MB's presidency (also referred to as dictatorship!!) - the Yongsan Massacre in January, the bloody suppression of the SsangYong strike in summer, the exacerbated oppression of trade union/KCTU activities and so forth - were reasons enough for the activists to demand in no uncertain terms "MB OUT!!"(*)...
* Sorry, but when (only) 3000 people in the S.K. capital (Seoul's population: approx. 12m.) are protesting against the "MB dictorship", f*cking MB will - most likely - just think/say: "I don't give a shit about that!"...

Today's Int'l Migrants' Day has been marked by MTU, KCTU and some supporting human right groups with a press conference in front of the gov't complex near Gwanghwamun in downtown Seoul...
...where the activists accused the repeated/ongoing violation of migrant workers' human and labour rights by the S.K. ruling class (gov't - MoJ/Immigration Office/police - and employers/capitalists).
Already last Sunday(12.13) MTU, KCTU and various solidarity organisations "celebrated" today's Int'l Migrants Day with a protest rally in downtown Seoul:

Well, to cut a long story short: While the U.N. Climate Conference in Copenhagen is up to now a complete failure (surprise, surprise!!) - the German bourgeois magazine Der Spiegel headlined today "New climate agreement on the brink of collapse" - the 'Copenhagen Police Festival' is a complete 'success'(^^)...
Until now almost every protest has been (mostly) brutal suppressed and so far (between last Sat. and y'day) the cops detained - "preemptive", as they call it - at least 1,700 people, the vast majority of them just peaceful demonstrators...

Yesterday afternoon a few migrant workers and some solidarity activists marked this year's Int'l Migrants' Day with a rally in downtown Seoul (in front of Seoul Stn).
MTU wrote y'day following about the event:
Today 'Alliance for migrants equality and human rights' held International Migrants Day Rally - "We are labor, labor is one" in the Seoul station plaza.
Various migrants organizations including MTU participated in the rally and other Korean organizations like KCTU gathered too.
Opening concert was Indonesian workers' band. They filled the place with full energy and migrants voice.
KCTU vice president and Amnesty International officer condemned the government and demanded the migrants' rights.
MTU representative also raised migrant workers' voice.(see the following)
Korean singer and Korean language class student group's performance followed.
In spite of the cold weather, participants stayed and enjoyed the rally.
Each country migrants groups and Korean groups had speeches.
In the end all of migrants went on the stage and sang the song "we shall overcome" in English, Nepali, Bangladesh and Korea. The migrants lifted up the picket "LABOR IS ONE", each letter filled with participants' photos. It was wonderful performance.
Thanks to all participants.
