The South Headquarters of the Pan-national Alliance for Korea's Reunification in a commentary on May 24 denounced the Lee Myung Bak dictatorial regime for its violent crackdown on workers.
That day the authorities set in motion 2 500 policemen to arrest at least 500 workers of an enterprise who were staging a sit-in in protest against the unreasonable closure of workshop by the management side, the commentary noted.
The authorities' suppression is aimed to stamp out the rights of the workers and obliterate the labor movement, it said, warning that the "government's" repression will invite bigger resistance of the workers.
