Free Koreans
11 of the 14 WTO protesters were released yesterday as the charges were dropped due to insufficient evidence. Doug Crets takes a look at the background of the 3 Koreans still facing charges. In short, one is the vice president of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions - he is not a farmer. Another belongs to the Korean Peasant's League, although he only began farming in 2003 and spends at least some of his time working as a video and film producer. The last is a cucumber farmer, KPL member and has a heart problem. In short, all are professional protesters - they are free on bail, due in court again March 1 and are going back to South Korea tomorrow. See ya. posted by Simon on 01.12.06 at 11:05 AM in the WTO category.

Any bets on whether the charges will be negotiated between now and March 1 and the Koreans will not be back? I've put down my $4000 posted by: d on 01.12.06 at 04:58 PM [permalink] |
