Comrades, brothers and friends!
Two days have past here. As you already knew, Korean government took a decision that all migrant workers are forced to go back to their own countries. But, the Korean government don't know that those who are struggling can't be prevented in a world history. If the struggle could be prevented, then the struggle couldn't catch their victory flag. No nation could get freedom.
Anyway, now they threaten us to crack down and deport us to our country. There are 400,000 migrant workers working in Korea but they have no labor right. Why don't the government give us labor right? Do they ignore us who came from the poor country? So do they hurt us always? They don't know that migrant workers are now one. If they deport many migrant workers like us, then many migrant workers will fight against the government and we can get the great victory. The government don't know that we have also known their weakness. Like a group of robbers, they caught us in the early morning. What will happen when hundreds of thousand of migrant workers like us will demand their labor rights? Then Korean government will not prevent migrant workes, depending on hundreds of polices.
Dear friends.
Yesterday an officer said to us, "you have done wrong, so you have to apologize for your fault." I replied, "if we have done wrong, then all fighters have done wrong in the world." So dear comrades, we must struggle altogether strongly. We will get victory because we are one now. All migrants worker are now conscious. Nowadays some weak-minded people will fear, so you have to encourage them. There is no other way but doing this. Please don't misunderstand ETU-MB. Remember that we are now illegal, anyone anytime can be caught like us! Remember that we can be safe only when we fight! Many Korean students and
workers are doing rally in front of Immigration Office, and they are trying to prevent the government from deporting us. Please deeply think that there are many differences between us and other migrant workers who have been caught on crackdown days and live in jail with us! If you misunderstand ETU-MB, and if you keep away from ETU-MB, then you make the greatest mistake and failure. If you love us and our struggle, then you must remain in ETU-MB and struggle. We must and can get victory. Remember if you want to get something, then you have to sacrifice something. When you all unite, struggle and organize other migrant workers very hard, then we will always be with you. We get a lot of pain because we can't shout any slogan with you, with same voice. But we will get more pain if you don't struggle. You know that 90% labors in the world, if they have much weakness when they demand their rights, don't stop their struggle until they get labor rights.
Dear comrades. No struggle will be in vain. But your and our struggles will not be in vain. Someday we will get victory. And we must get victory. Tu-jeang!
