Since y'day afternoon Daewoo's construction MAFIA is escalating the situation in Myeong-dong's "redevelopment" area by sending up to 200 organized thugs/gangsters to terrorize the Myeong-dong Resistance Collective and all of their supporters.
 

Activists related to the resistance in Myeong-dong published the following outcry in the late afternoon:

3rd of August, 2011

Myung_dong_Cafe Mari, City Center of Seoul.

Gangsters beat tenants 4:30 am -till now

11 Poor tenants were evicted by Daewoo Cooperations and IBK(Industrial Bank of Korea) on2nd of April.
Those big cooperations are planning 'Financial Street' on that area.

Since 4th of June, the tenants have been squatting a place called cafe Mari( a cafe owned by one of the tenants)
Many students and citizens and artists are banded together with the tenants.

Since 4th of June gangsters tried to beat people or destroyed the building but it wasn't easy because many people back up for the tenants.

But today IBK and Daewoo hired 200 gangsters to beat people.
They destroyed Mari cafe and sitting in the cafe since 4:30 am.

We reported to police  but they didn't come.

This is a reality of South Korea.

And today in the early morning an eyewitness of the GANG TERROR noticed the following: "It's 7 am and I just got back from Mari in Myeongdong. Insane. Around 50 young hired gangsters going through and hitting protestors: women, the elderly, college students, whoever. One of them kicked a pregnant woman in the stomach tonight."
