MSSC STRUGGLE REPORT (¼¿ï, ÑõðÈàØ, 5.29/30)
First of all yesterday we were celebrating the 200th day of sit-in strike in Myeong-dong with a powerfull rally and demonstration. Even government tried to do everything to scare migrant workers (in the forefield immigration and police sharply increased the manhunt) to participate on this event – they were only partly successful: at least 250 migrant workers joined our protest. All together more then 500 people, migrant workers, mainly self organized students groups (NOHAK, Àü±¹Çлý¿¬´ëȸÀÇ, Àü±¹´ëÇлý°øµ¿Çൿ), but also some members of All Together (´ÙÇÔ²²), Power of the Working Class (³ëµ¿ÀÚÀÇ Èû), etc. participated. The atmosphere on the rally and following demonstration was really great (you just have to see the pictures, here you¡¯ll find another picture story about the event). After the final rally in Jongmyo Park we made a kind of propaganda march back to our struggle place in Myeong-dong, but of course on every corner the riot cops were waiting for us – and provocing, but it¡¯s nothing new, just like usual. The day was finished with a powerful rally on our struggle place.
Before yesterday, while the majority of MSSC went to there ¡°home¡± regions to mobilize migrant workers for the rally yesterday, some MSSC members supported the anti-war cultural festival in Pyeongtaek. The background: USFK (United States Forces Korea) decited to move from the bases located near the border to the DPR Korea and their main base in Seoul/Yongsan. But they don¡¯t want to move home, just they want to move to¡¦ Pyeongtaek. And of course the people there don¡¯t like this idea, not at all – just they strongly resisting. So, for to initiate a mass movement they - supported by many other civic, left political and anti-war groups/organizations – organized for Saturday a Struggle Culture Festival. An estimated 1.500 people participated - and amazingly many young, unorganized people, mainly school students. Just it was really great to see, that this could be the future of the struggle here – if not some political organizations try to take in the movement. An detailed report you can read here (in Korean). No S. Korean troops to Iraq! Kick out USFK!<br>
