Korean workers facing jail and fines

At the end of last year, workers and other activists staged a series of demonstrations to protest against the government’s increasingly authoritarian measures and legislation to weaken the workers’ movement. While these actions mobilised hundreds of thousands of workers, the reaction from the government has been very heavy. Many unionists have been arrested, including the leader of the KCTU, Han Sang Kyun, while the government now plans to fine demonstrators as well.
