Short documentary by MWTV about the Anti-crackdown Action! in Seoul's Dongdaemun area, Nov.18:
Yesterday's Marmot's Hole noted(*) following:
The government has reportedly told the UN to go f*ck itself concerning recommendations made by the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) on migrant wives and workers. More specifically, the Ministry of Justice said “the suggestions contained factual errors and were based on a lack of understanding of Korean law.”

'불법 사람은 없다' 미등록 이주노동자 강제단속 중단 2차 출입국 집회
정부의 미등록이주노동자 집중단속이 지난 10월 12일 시작되어 기승을 부리고 있습니다.
전국 각지에서 미등록이주노동자들이 굴비엮듯이 날마다 잡혀가고 있고 그 과정에서 반인권과 폭력이 난무하고 있습니다.
이주노동자들을 같은 인간으로 보지 않고 무조건 쫓아내야 하는 대상,쓰다가 버리는 일회용품,노예노동자로 보는 법무부의 집중단속을 저지하기 위해 우리의 행동이 더욱 강해져야 하는 시기입니다.
아래와 같이 '이주노동자 권리지킴이'에서 출입국 앞 2차 집중집회를 개최하니 많은 참여를 부탁드립니다.
▲ 일시 : 2009년 11월 26일(木), 오전 11시
▲ 장소 : 서울 목동 출입국관리소 앞
▲ 주최 : 이주노동자 권리지킴이
▲ 주관 : 민주노총
European Racism Gives a New Meaning to the
Term “White Christmas”
The mayor of the Northern Italian town of Coccaglio has launched a campaign to “clean-up” the city of migrants, ahead of the Christian holidays next month.
The “White Christmas” campaign is being spearheaded by Claretti and six town councillors from Italy’s ruling conservative People of Freedom party and its junior coalition partner, the racist/anti-immigrant Northern League party.
“For me, Christmas is not the holiday of hospitality, but instead that of the Christian tradition, of our identity,” said Coccaglio’s councillor in charge of security, Claudio Abiendi, from the Northern League, quoted by the Italian bourgeois daily La Repubblica a few days ago.
The "operation" will see police officers going to every home in the town to make sure its residents have their immigration documents in order, otherwise they will lose their residence and risk deportation. The move also applies to those whose legal permit of stay expired over six months ago and cannot prove that they have begun the procedure to renew it.
Coccaglio has a population of 7,000 residents of which more than 1,550 are migrants, most of them from Morocco, Albania, and from the former Yugoslavia. The nearby towns of Castelcovati and Castrezzatoare also beginning to copy Coccaglio’s idea, La Repubblica reported.

Pyongyang's doctrine constantly repeats following sermon: "The reactionary bourgeois, imperialist so-called culture is killing our revolutionary Korean socialist society!" (OWTTE)...
Well, while in N.K. you'll find (of course) definitely NO socialist society (only a kind of red-painted feudalism/monarchy) you can find some really yukky examples of bourgeois, extreme reactionary "cultural" entertainment (for the ruling class and the nouveaux riches) as K. Herald reported a short while ago:
Female dancer video circulating in N.K.
A video clip showing female dancers in skimpy costumes...
...performing to American music is being secretly circulated in North Korea via CD-ROMs, a North Korean defector said...
Yonhap News reported that the video, obtained by Yonhap News Agency from the defector, who requested anonymity, would not be considered obscene elsewhere in the world. But revealing outfits and American music are both considered taboo in the conservative North.
In the clip, several groups of four women in crop-tops and thigh-length shorts or skirts dance to fast disco music on a brightly-lit stage. Their outfits are made of shiny gold, red and blue fabrics, and the dancers perform in a way that would be considered lewd in North Korea -- raising their bare leg and shaking their chests and hips. The video has captions giving the title of each song as it is played, and includes "Aloha Oe," a Hawaiian folk song.
The defector said the dancers are members of the Wangjaesan Light Music Band, a group that mostly performs for the upper class.
The video provides no clue about where, when or for whom the show was held. Applause is heard after each performance, suggesting there is an audience in front of the decorated stage.

Eyewitness account (by comrade "Dope") about yesterday's riot cop attack against the 'Anti-war Candlelight Culture Festival' (on the occasion of Obama's visit in Seoul and the planned redeployment of S.K. troops to Afghanistan) in Myeong-dong:
"I was there at the candlelight vigil, playing my guitar to sing 'put the gun down' (together) with (the protest singer) Byeol-eum-ja-ri-pyo. People were singing along with us, as all of a sudden 200 cops came in, started arresting people brutally, crushing the vigil, beating up people who were resisting, people were screaming...
It was like hell. It was like a riot cop party. They arrested 18 peace-loving people who were just sitting down and listening to our music."
