PRESS CONFERENCE OF ARREST SQUAD ON RETURNING HOME

International Squad(Yu Man-hyong, head of the Squad, a former member of
Daewoo Motor Labor Union/ Park Jom-kyu, 31, organizing chief of the Korean
Confederation of Trade Unions(KCTU) / Hwang I-min, 37, spokesman for Daewoo
Joint Struggle Headquarters Against Daewoo Motor) for arresting former Daewoo
chairman Kim woo-choong, and for censuring DJ regime's violence returned home
today after various activities throughout France for 10 days since they left
Korea on Feb. 23.

1. We were hailed by French citizen and the Press as well as the local
workers. We visited Interpol headquarters and made an official request to
arrest Kim Woo-choong. We exposed to them that the Kim Dae-jung government
has no intention to catch Kim Woo-choong. No nongovenmental group or a person
has ever visited the Interpol and made a request before. We also tried to
force our way into the Nice villa where Kim Woo-choong had been found to
enjoy his luxury life. Through this struggle we clarified and let the world
know that the grand villa in France belongs to Daewoo workers. 

2. On arriving in Paris, we met major nongovenmental organizations including
ATTAC and disclosed to them the horrible situation in Korea where the
government uses public power to suppress Daewoo Motor workers who are
rightfully struggling against the company's layoffs. This disclosure made the
Council of the European Union adopt, through an official procedure, a
statement reprimanding the South Korean government for suppressing the labor.
The Council also decided to organize a Korea-visiting group to officially
reprimand the DJ government. On top of this, International Confederation for
the Human Rights said it will visit Korea in order to make a joint white
paper with Korea's human rights organizations on human rights abuse of the
Korean workers by the government and the companies and file a suit with the
Human Rights Commission of UN against the Korean government. French social
groups decided to organize a joint countermeasure committee, which will send
mail censuring the Korean government and set up a fund to put censuring ads
on Korea's newspaper.

3. Traveling major cities in France, we distributed about 10,000 leaflets
about the arrest of Kim Woo-choong and denunciation on DJ regime's
suppression on the labor. We visited the Korean Embassy in France and showed
our intention. Also we had rallies in many places.  France's major
broadcasting companies and prestigious newspapers ran a story of our
activities and the purpose of our visit to France. We sold all 1000 badges we
made and could build a fund of about $2,800 to support our activities. We
made an official visit to ILO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland and filed a
lawsuit against DJ government for banning multiple trade unions in one
workplace. Lift of ban on multiple trade unions is postponed 5 years by the
government.

4. Although we did not succeed in arresting Kim Woo-choong, escaping charges
of embezzlement, we could have conviction, through our activities in France,
that we, workers, can catch him on our own and found out that only the South
Korean government has no intention to get Kim Woo-choong, the world top
thief. During our activities, we were offered joint struggles by the workers
of various countries like Germany, Switzerland and Britain; British workers
of GM in Luton plant, UK, offered international joint struggles of worldwide
workers in motor industry. Luton workers are also threatened to be laid off
by GM. They also suggested a visit to BFC that has managed the hidden assets
of Kim Woo-choong and struggles for the arrest of the ex-Daewoo chairman Kim
and forfeiture of his amassed funds.

We will search everywhere in the world for Kim Woo-choong and never fail to
arrest him.
