Police Alert Over FTA Demonstration
http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/200611/kt2006111417232468040.htm

 By Kim Yon-se

Protesters against a free trade agreement (FTA)
between South Korea and the United States are planning
to bring in hundreds of chartered buses to form a
blockade in downtown Seoul during an upcoming
demonstration.

``Anti-FTA activists comprised of farmers, laborers
and unionized teachers will participate in three
protests planned for Nov. 22, Nov. 29 and Dec. 6,=A1=AF=A1=AF
a source close to the Korean Confederation of Trade
Unions (KCTU) said on Tuesday.

He said, ``Their plan is to have at least one thousand
buses park in the middle of Seoul to bring traffic in
the city to a standstill.=A1=AF=A1=AF

According to other union officials, tens of thousands
of farmers across the country are scheduled to arrive
in central Seoul in rented buses to join the anti-FTA
protest. They said that the bus-blockade will be held
on one of the three days. The farmers also plan to
stage rallies in their regional strongholds during the
rest two days.

``Their behind-the-scenes plan, prepared over the past
few months, is aimed at pressing the Roh Moo-hyun
administration to drop its policy to sign a free trade
deal with Washington,=A1=AF=A1=AF said the source.

He said he believes that Chong Wa Dae has already
obtained information about their plan and police will
certainly hamper the mass bus-parking around
Kwanghwamun and City Hall.

While a KCTU spokesperson declined to unveil the joint
union=A1=AFs strategy, sources forecast the scale of the
protest to be massive enough to rival the ``June
Protest=A1=AF=A1=AF against the then-military dictatorship in
1987.

As a warning to the government, the union will stage a
preliminary demonstration on Nov. 15.

IV/AIDS and FTA


        Dear all



        The first of day of December is the World AIDS day and We would lik=
e to express our point of view on the AIDS Act in Korea and the Korea-US Fr=
ee Trade Agreement on that day.



        In Korea, AIDS Prevention Act in 1987 mainly aims to keep an eye on=
 the people with HIV/AIDS treating them as the carrier of the threatening v=
irus. People with HIV/AIDS in Korea are now making a proposal of =A1=B0Acts=
 on the prevention of AIDS and promoting the human rights of people with HI=
V/AIDS=A1=B1 at the parliament and struggling to get it passed. Also, Korea=
n ! Government is scheduled to have 5th round of negotiation on the Korea-U=
S Free Trade Agreement in Montana, US from the 4th till 8th next month. It =
is not people with HIV/AIDS but the social discrimination and FTA that spre=
ad AIDS. The following manifesto will be forwarded to the Ministry of Healt=
h and Welfare of Korean Government on the 1st of December.



        We would appreciate your support and solidarity if you could co-sig=
n it.

        We hope that you will send this letter to other groups that would b=
e interested.



        Solidarity
