Following appeal for int'l solidarity was sent by MTU:

.. We write to inform you about a tragic fire that recently broke out in a foreigners' detention center in the city of Yeosu in South Korea's Southern Cheolla Province. We hope you will take serious notice of this incident and South Korea's inhumane treatment of migrant workers, which are at its roots, and organize a response in your area in solidarity withour efforts here in Korea..  ☞ Call for int'l solidarity..

S.K. "left"-liberal daily Hankyoreh published in the last days, in connection with the Yeosu tragedy several interesting articles:

☞ Illegal immigrants fear Korea’s detention centers

☞ Illegal workers often consider Korea a 'second home'

(BTW.. please read: so-called "illegal" migrant workers!!)

Yesterday (2.14) the bourgeois daily newspaper Korea Herald also started a series about the conditions of migrant workers in S. Korea:

☞ Maltreatment of illegals shocks Korean society
