Some days ago(7.19) Yonhap was writing this about the planned rally:

 

Anti-U.S. activists to stage more mass rallies this weekend

About 2,000 activists plan to stage rallies again this weekend to oppose plans to expand a U.S. military base south of Seoul, police said Wednesday.

 

In May, thousands of anti-U.S. activists and farmers clashed with riot police for several days as the enlargement of Camp Humphreys in Pyeongtaek, 70 kilometers south of Seoul, will require several farming villages there to be leveled.

 

The protests emerged as the most violent anti-U.S. rallies in recent years, with hundreds of activists and police injured and several hundred more activists briefly detained.

 

Saturday's demonstration is aimed at urging the U.S. military to scrap its base expansion plan and persuading the South Korean authorities to release activists jailed due to earlier protests held in May, organizers said.

 

Police said they plan to barricade major roads in Pyeongtaek to prevent protesters from marching through the city.

 

Meanwhile, pro-U.S. civic groups and merchants in Pyeongtaek said they would hold counter-rallies to help the U.S. military proceed with its base enlargement plan as scheduled.

 

Camp Humphreys is being expanded in order to accommodate the U.S. Yongsan Garrison in Seoul, the 2nd U.S. Infantry Division near the border with North Korea and other small U.S. bases over the next few years. The plan is part of the U.S. Global Posture Review aimed at transforming its fixed military installations worldwide into more agile and rapid response forces.

 

The U.S. currently stations 30,000 troops in South Korea, but the troop level is to be reduced to 25,000 by 2008.
