In Sri Lanka, major political parties called off traditional May Day rallies due to security concerns following the Easter bombings
French authorities announced tight security measures for May Day demonstrations, with the interior minister saying there was a risk that “radical activists” could join anti-government yellow vest protesters and union workers in the streets of Paris and across the country. More than 7,400 police will be deployed, aided by drones to give them an overview of the protests and a quicker way to head off potential violence.
The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, which organized the protests and issued the joint statement with the North Korean organization, said more than 27,000 demonstrators turned out for Wednesday’s marches in Seoul. May Day rallies were also held in other major South Korean cities, including Busan, Gwangju and Daejeon.
Bangladesh has thousands of garment factories employing millions of workers, and the industry generates around $30-billion in exports a year. Thousands of low-paid workers took to the streets in Indonesia to demand higher wages, better benefits and improved working conditions in Southeast Asia’s largest economy. Laborers in Jakarta, the capital, gathered at national monuments and other places, shouting their demands.
