Pyongyang, December 21 (KCNA) -- Ri Sok Haeng, chairman of the south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), has been going on a hunger strike in prison for over ten days, according to KBS of south Korea on Dec. 18.
The KCTU announced that from Dec. 6 after he was arrested by the police he has staged the hunger strike in protest against the policy of destroying people's life pursued by the Lee Myung Bak "government" which incriminates the workers' struggle for the population's existence and tramples on the vital rights of part-time workers under the pretext of economic crisis.
Meanwhile, trade unions under the KCTU have waged the struggle outside the Chongwadae from Dec. 12 in demand of the release of Ri Sok Haeng and stop to suppression under the pretext of "security," KBS said.
