YESTERDAY’S REPORT
Today, now since 34 days street vendors are in sit-in strike in front one of Seoul’s main department stores LOTTE. Because of they (the capitalists) call it “development/modernization” - many street vendors are forced to move from there and on that way they lose their basis of existence. About the full background of the case you can read here (the leaflet what was delivered y’day to the citizens). So yesterday a protest rally and demonstration (from LOTTE to City Hall and back to LOTTE) took the streets of downtown Seoul and more than 100 activists of the street vendors movement, supported by some KCTU activists, by the Democratic Labor Party, activists who are defending their homes, Peoples Solidarity and some other activists. At least 360 riot cops were accompanying the demonstration and on Eulji-ro several times they threatened to attack the demonstrators, after all a not real comfortable situation, not really. But even threatened by the riot cops, the demonstration finished without serious incidents. On the final rally in front of LOTTE the activists promised not to give up the struggle until the affected got their rights and at least compensation for the financial loss. Here just some impressions of yesterday’s rally/demo by pictures:

LAST DAYS’ REPORT
First of all: yesterday’s migrant workers rally/demonstration was organized by KCTU, but in fact nothing was organized. But let’s come later to the issue. Just let’s start with the beginning. Last Thursday (02.24), like now since 8 weeks every Thursday counter globalization action korea and their friends held an anti-war protest in front of Kyobo B/D, downtown Seoul, near the US embassy. Even it was very cold and only few people joined the event, it was just fun for everyone, the activists, audience and by-passers. The rally was opened with a anti-war performance and followed by an open microphone. Later the moderator of the rally read the latest letter from an activist from Baghdad, where he was writing about the current situation there and the hope for freedom and peace in the near future. Some songs were played and finally the audience and by-passers were invited to prepare anti-war facilities. More about the event you can read and see here.
Last Saturday in Ansan’s an industrial town southwest of Seoul Migrant Worker Center the 5th Migrant Workers Culture Festival was held. Because the strange situation, now nearly every day immigration officers and police are hunting migrant workers there, only few of them were able to join the event but nevertheless the atmosphere was nice and powerful. The following get-together and common meal actually was so good that my ride back to Seoul was very late. In fact it was to late, because in Shindorim station the subway service stopped and the way from there to Seodaemun-gu is f… long, especially on feet…
Yesterday, Sunday, Feb 27, like planned by KCTU, the migrant workers struggle rally and demonstration took the streets of Seoul. But even from the beginning there were several serious problems. For example there were no sound system, no stage on the spot. Fortunately Peoples Solidarity for Social Progress was able to bring a loudspeaker car. So, even with delay, the rally could begin. But unfortunately only few migrant workers were able to join the protest, with the same reason like the culture festival in Ansan. And for a protest, organized by the KCTU only few union activists/organized workers participated on the rally. So the majority of the demonstrators were student activists (THANX A LOT FOR ALL, WHO JOINED!!) all together we were less than 250 people. So actually not a real powerful protest was possible (at least 500 riot cops were hanging around there and later many of them followed the demonstration), but that is just the current reality.
Following just some impressions of the last days by pictures.
