KTU Activists Arrested!

The cops today detained 17 members of the Korean Teachers and Education Workers' Union/KTU who demonstrated near the presidential office in Seoul to denounce a government decision to punish their colleagues who joined a growing anti-government campaign earlier this month.

Scores of teachers, led by KTU Chairman Jeong Jin-hoo, were forcibly blocked by riot cops when they tried to approach to the presidential office, the "CheongWaDae", to deliver a letter of protest to the president.
