South Korean workers defy government crackdown

Last week we reported on the numerous union offices that have been raided by police in an attempt to intimidate a growing anti-government movement that is spearheaded by Korean workers. As a response to these attacks, labour and human rights activists called for another demonstration for Saturday the 5th of December. Despite an intense campaign by the government to attempt to intimidate workers and their supporters, tens of thousands of people came out to show their opposition to government policies. Videos of the rally can be seen here, here and here.
