Demonstration for Wage Hike Staged in S. Korea
Pyongyang, June 19 (KCNA) -- Members of south Korean youth organizations including the Network of Youngsters Labor Human Rights staged an action in Seoul on June 14 in demand of wage hike.

They in a statement recalled that the General Association of Managers turned down the demand of the workers for raising the minimum wage.

They accused big businessmen of getting hell-bent on accumulating properties by all means and methods though bi-polarization of society has reached a very serious phase.

Then they staged a demonstration.

They put up a stubborn struggle, not slackening their fighting will despite the frantic suppression by riot police.

That day police walked off seven demonstrators on charges of the violation of the "Law on Assembly and Demonstration" and "disturbance of performance of duties."
