Protesters send MSG of solidarity to Ssangyong.


Occupations in the UK, whilst not on the scale or levels of violence experienced at Ssangyong, have taken centre stage in the fightback against government cuts and employee cutbacks. We are seeing a new generation of natural leaders emerge from these struggles and want to push this method of resistance out, to generalise the message that if we fightback we can win. But only if united.

We send you our strongest message of solidarity in the hope that our united campaigns will one day win the battle.

We support you and salute your courage. Keep up the fight comrades.

To the South Korean Embassador,
We would like to register our deepest anger at the treatment of the Ssangyong workers who have been occupying their factory to prevent
redundancies.

We are particularly anxious about the treatment of the hundred protesters currently under arrest and call for their immediate release.



The use of psychological warfare and industrial strength tear gas as well as withholding medical treatment is morally reprehensible and is a denial of human rights.

We call for an end of brutality and for the nationalisation of the
Ssangyong car factory.
