It's likely wellknown that the S.K. president Lee Myeong-bak(LMB) is a hard-core christian believer... So he likes to offer a very special "Year's End/Christmas" present:
A MASSIVE WAVE OF CRACKDOWN
TERROR ON MIGRANT WORKERS
Yesterday morning hundreds of riot cops and immigration officers launched the biggest crackdown on undocumented migrant workers of the LMB administration, raiding the industrial complex of Maseok/Namyangju (in the Gyeonggi Province, north of Seoul), arresting about 100 migrant workers.
The riot cops and immigration officers apparently surrounded the target areas and advanced, using tools to break down doors. Witnesses say at least five migrants were injured in the operation.
A 'Justice' Ministry official said they believed there to be about 700 "illegal" migrants in Maseok, and that they would take "strong measures against disturbances caused by illegal migrants".
He also said they’d launch two or three more major raids before the end of the year (!!).
The crackdowns are part of the government’s plan, announced Sept. 30, to deport at least 20,000 un-documented migrant workers until the end of the year.
The Mo'J' put these plans in place when it judged that the "activities of illegal migrants — including forming a union and protesting to have their immigration status legalized and participating in political protests such as demonstrations against the deployment of Korean troops to Iraq — had reached a serious level".
Based on a report by Yonhap (via Naver)
