【採訪通知】譴責「無賴移民署，吃掉訴願書！濫權黑名單，就為何壽川」記者會

時間：2015年8月19日（三）10:00

地點：內政部大門前（臺北市中正區徐州路5號）

Hydis工人於今年（2015）5月25日三度來臺抗爭，向資方永豐餘集團訴求撤回關廠解僱。然而，臺北市中正一分局突然在6月9日夜間發動突襲，以蛇籠粗暴逮捕Hydis工會成員鄭圭田、李相穆等8人，並隨即強行解送移民署設於新北市三峽區的外國人收容中心，經徹夜偵訊筆錄後，隔天（6/10）上午對8名工人作出違反社會秩序維護法的處分書，隨即將8人交付移民署。

對此，Hydis工人義務律師團於5日內提出異議，在陳宏奇律師的奔走下，8月7日臺北地院簡易庭的裁定，撤銷原裁罰處分，並裁定姜晶珠等8人均不罰（104年度北秩聲字第24號），而當初移民署以中正一的處分書作為強制驅逐的處分依據，粗暴把人押到機場遣返，如今除了明顯違法，更顯得荒謬至極。

義務律師團於7月10日向內政部移民署提出訴願，如今已超過一個月，問處理對口是誰，全程死皮賴臉回「不清楚、不知道」、「如果三個月後沒有回應就去打行政訴訟啊」，不作撤銷處分，也不將訴願書送交內政部訴願會審，讓程序死躺在署裡。臺灣聲援Hydis工人連線強烈譴責移民署吃掉訴願書如此無賴之行徑。

Hydis工人第四次遠征團從6月26日起，到目前為止經過8次的人員輪替，數十名工人在入境臺灣之前被要求簽下切結書，來臺期間遭受警方與移民署的24小時跟監，做出種種人權侵害的行徑。

更令人憤怒的是，來臺的Hydis工人一個一個被列入黑名單，將禁止入國視為「我有權決定誰可以進到我家」的絕對高權，縱容行政機關無止盡地秀下線，為了包庇惡質資方永豐餘集團，不惜祭出濫權黑名單。對此，臺灣聲援Hydis工人連線表達最嚴厲的譴責，在此訴求臺灣政府，立刻停止不法的人權侵害！停止對Hydis工人的入境打壓！

Yesterday's Rodong Sinmun published a piece, headed "DPRK Government's Memorandum Marks Anniversary of Korea's Liberation"...

Here you can enjoy(^^) the memorandum's "highlight":

Kim Jong Un, who is identical to the great leaders("of Baekdu-san", i.e. Kim Il-sung &Kim Jong-il)enjoys immense attraction and confidence of all the Koreans including broad strata of south Koreans for his ardent patriotism and noble virtue.

Kim Jong Un...

...is the outstanding leader of the nation and the great lodestar of national reunification as he devotes his all to achieving national reunification, the life-time desire of the great leaders("of Baekdu-san", i.e. Kim Il-sung &Kim Jong-il), and wisely leads all the Koreans along the patriotic road of reunification.

Bright and rosy is the future of the nation as it is led by Kim Jong Un, illustrious Songun commander, legendary great man and peerless patriot.

When all the Koreans in the north and the south glorify the undying feats of the great leaders("of Baekdu-san", i.e. Kim Il-sung &Kim Jong-il) for Korea's liberation and the cause of national reunification and advance dynamically under the wise guidance of Kim Jong Un, the historic cause of national reunification is sure to be accomplished and the great heyday of national prosperity to be ushered in this land!

A picture, somehow related: y'day afternoon in central Seoul, S. Korea's capital city...
