Minod Moktan

Minod Moktan, better known as Minu (Korean: 미누) was a Nepali human rights activist and singer. In 2003, he founded the rock band Stop Crackdown, which became a cultural symbol of migrant workers' struggles within the broader social movements of South Korea. Through Stop Crackdown and work with groups such as Migrant Workers TV, Minu advocated for better working conditions and fairer judicial treatment of migrant workers by the South Korean government. In 2009, Minu was deported to Nepal after living in Korea for 18 years.

He was able to return to Korea for the first time in 9 years as an invited guest to the premier of a film about his life and work opened at the DMZ International Documentary Film Festival in Korea. On October 15, 2018, Moktan died suddenly in Nepal from a heart attack. His death was mourned by countless migrant rights and labor activists in Korea as well as cultural activists who have worked with him over the years.
