The news media in south Korea stated Monday that the trials of 440 college students arrested in August would begin shortly. The media spoke of "tight court security that has been substantially beefed up in five separate courtrooms." Tension is said to be extremely high as there is growing support for the students who were arrested while attempting to hold a pro-unification rally. Adding to the outrage over the arrests under the fascist "National Security Law" are the persistent reports of sexual abuse of the arrested students by security officials. Many of the indicted students are female, and parents and others are very concerned for their safety. Shawgi Tell University at Buffalo Graduate School of Education [EMAIL PROTECTED]
