Counterfire
Congratulations are due to Ta Hamkke, the internationalist left group in the Korean Democratic Labour Party, who yesterday launched their new weekly newspaper, called Counterfire in English (맞불 - a name reminscent of the excellent US webzine Counterpunch). It is not online yet, but apparently will be tomorrow (June 15).
The organisation has been fighting off attacks from various sources recently, including an investigation by the Map’o police station into alleged infringements of electoral law, so I wish them the very best and hope their new publication is a success.
