They held a press conference in Seoul on Jan. 20.

They included the Teachers Trade Unions, the Solidarity for Progress, the Confederation of Trade Unions.

In a press release they condemned the corrupt and incompetent present regime for kicking up the racket of suppressing the Teachers Trade Unions in the run up to the parliamentary election.

The authorities have charged the legitimate activities of teachers for the peace and the country's reunification as violation of the "National Security Law" and searched the houses of members of the Teachers Trade Unions, they said.

Since taking office the present regime has kicked up suppressive campaign whenever elections were ahead.

The fascist suppression through political coloring offensive will never browbeat the people, they stressed.

They called for staging dynamic actions to foil the conservative ruling forces' moves to suppress the trade unions.
