CINA

Before y'day 500,000 people gathered on Seoul's City Hall Plaza for the funeral ceremony of Roh Moo-hyun.

But only one day later the "national unity"^^ (JoongAng Ilbo) was over.
The "5.30 Protest Rally for Peace, Political and Social Justice" - planned for Sat. afternoon by many trade unions, student solidarity groups, the Yongsan Coalition, civil and human right organisations - was in fact banned by the gov't. 14,000 riot cops (plus 8 water cannons..) prevented, partly by using massive violence, any potential protester from entering the City Hall Plaza (a detailed report, incl. pictures and several videos you can read here).

PS:
K. Times reported that 72 "Roh supporters" were arrested.. But I doubt that every protester who is in opposition to the ruling system in S.K. is automatically a supporter of the former Roh administration!!
