Anti-"Government" Sit-in Strike Staged in S. Korea
Pyongyang, July 21 (KCNA) -- Members of the preparatory committee of the south Korean Meeting of People for Building New Society on July 18 joined those who have been on a hunger sit-in strike in Seoul since July 13 in protest against the authorities' unreasonable lay-off and suppression of trade unions.

They held a press conference in this regard.

Speakers at the press conference said workers, peasants and the poor are complaining they could not live any longer but the "government" and plutocrats are driving them into an abyss of death, indifferent to them, they deplored.

They condemned the authorities for intensifying the suppression of the people, prompted by their sinister intention to safely spend the remaining period of their office at any cost.

Actions alone would help them regain their vital rights and check the authorities' moves to stamp out trade unions, they noted.

They declared they would join in the hunger sit-in to punish the Lee Myung Bak regime, the regime serving big businessmen.
