Speeches were made at the rally with more than 12,000 workers and students from across south Korea attending.

Speakers charged that the "government" and the Human Rights Committee have not taken any measure against violations of workers' rights.

They declared they would wage the anti-dictatorship struggle in different parts of south Korea to overthrow the Lee Myung Bak "government" insisting on the unreasonable suppression of workers and the pro-capital policy.

They stressed that they would continue the vigorous struggle for vital rights in solidarity with people from all walks of life and thus punish the Lee "government" without fail.
