Park Geun-hye, Step Down!
The action of south Korean people of every degree against the misgovernment of the south Korean authorities is getting fiercer.
The
second all-out people’s action was held in Seoul on December 5 in the
wake of the first all-out people's action had been held on November 14.
Presented
there were 50 000 people across south Korea including workers,
peasants, youth and students, citizens and religious men.
They
wished quick recovery of Baek Nam-ki, a peasant who fell into a
critical condition by the water cannon of the riot police in the last
action and demanded harsh suppression of the police, check of labor
reform and opposition to the “government-censored system of history
textbook”.
Through
his speech the Chairman of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions,
who is in hiding at the Chogye Order from the police suppression, said
that hundreds of people are being arrested, wanted and summoned to the
court, the case in the military dictatorship is reproducing, the Nov. 14
action is the most righteous one, we would be suppressed in a certain
time but the repressive dictatorial regime would not hinder our action.
At
the time, an organization composed of the workers, peasants, the poor
and civilians declared that it would launch the third all-out people's
action on Dec. 19.
It
demanded the resignation of the Park regime, suspension of labor
reform, opposition to import of foreign made rice, creation of
employment of the youth, discontinuance of withdrawal of street vendors,
and railroading of “state censorship of history textbook” for middle
and high schools.
What
is conspicuous in the rally is that the participants put on masks
instead of veil to protest against the bill on prohibition of using veil
proposed by the ruling party and Park Geun-hye’s description about the
participants as “IS”.
Twenty-four political figures including the opposition parties took part in the rally to march through the street.
After the rally, the participants marched down to the Hospital of Seoul National University where Baek is in the hospital.
