To our colleagues in JCMK and all our migrant friends in Korea,
It is tragic to hear of the death of our migrant brother Mr. Nur Fuad and the senseless loss of his youthful life.  The Korean Immigration Authorities hunted him down as if he was a criminal where in fact the act of criminality lies in the hands of the Korean government's unjust and inhumane Migrant Workers' Policy.  Like thousands of other migrant workers in Korea, Mr. Nur Fuad entered Korea legally, and slaved away toilessly to support his family in Indonesia and the growing economy in Korea.  What thanks does he get from the Korean government?  The loss of his very life.  The Catholic Hope Workers' Center, together with the 330,000 migrant workers in Taiwan, stand in solidarity with you as with one voice we call for an end to the criminalization of migrant workers and the illegal crackdowns undertaken by the Korean immigration authortities, and ask for the regularization of all undocumented workers in Korea. Â
Your struggle in Korea gives us inspiration and courage in Taiwan as at this present moment we too are opposing the Taiwan government's criminalization of migrant workers and the illegal crackdowns on undocumented workers.  More power to our struggle to support the human rights of migrant workers.
In solidarity,
Fr. Peter O'Neill
