ITUC declares arrest warrant against KCTU President “Wrong"
ITUC declares arrest warrant against KCTU President “wrong and disproportionate"
The issuing of an arrest warrant
against KCTU Korea President, Yang Kyeung-soo, by the Seoul
Central District Court is wrong and
disproportionate.
The warrant allows police to detain Yang for an initial ten days of interrogation over the holding of a 3 July demonstration to demand a moratorium on dismissal of workers, and urgent action to protect lives and livelihoods during the pandemic.
The demonstration was socially distanced, participants wore masks and follow-up confirmed there was no coronavirus transmission from the event.
ITUC General Secretary, Sharan Burrow, said:
“The proceedings against Yang, egged on by conservative
media, should stop and the authorities should heed the call
of workers seeking protection and
support.”
