- '노란봉투'캠페인/국제연대..
- no chr.!
Since y'day activists of the Yongsan Resistance Coalition and some of their supporters are trying to stage a Samboilbae(*) "protest march" to the CheongWaDae, LMB's presidential residence in downtown Seoul.
But although Samboilbae is the most peaceful kind of protest(**) the cops y'day prevented the procession from advancing towards the CheongWaDae and apprehend sixteen activists for "failing to disperse". Today in the afternoon once again the cops arrested several activists on the same way.
Related reports from y'day and today you'll find here, here and here!
* Meaning “three steps and one bow” in literal translation of the Chinese characters:
“Samboilbae” is one of the most sacrificing forms of penance in Buddhism. Each step symbolizes three major evils greed, rage and foolishness while the bow signifies deep atonement for sins in the humblest way possible by kneeling on the ground (source: "Three steps forward, one deep bow..", base21, 2003).
** Almost one month ago the S.K. The Supreme Court ruled that "samboilbae" is not in breach of law: "The method of the protest, samboilbae, is acceptable in light of conventional wisdom, and cannot be seen as unlawful as it does not go against established social rules.", according to Korea Herald(7.29).
