This week on Apex Express, we explore the threat to media freedom in South Korea, labor rights in Asian countries and organizing against US militarism in Asian countries.
On tonight’s show, hosts Preeti Shekar and Amit Pendyal talk with Tammy KoRobinson about the threat to media democracy under the new right regime in South Korea. We also feature an interview discussion with Sanjiv Pandita, labor rights activist and organizer with the Asia Monitor Resource Centre, a labor rights group based in Hong Kong. And, Women for Genuine Security is an organization based on justice and respect for others across national boundaries, Deborah Lee and Erica Benton join us to talk about WGS’s mission and programs.
