While the residents and activists of the area where 110 days ago the Yongsan Massacre took place had planned for yesterday and today an impressive "Village Festival" the cops - at least for yesterday - had a complete different schedule! From the morning hundreds of riot cops (including their water cannon vehicles) closed the area(*) and declared the "Village Festival" as an "illegal rally"!
Today the situation was a bit relaxed (the cops lifted the closure partially), as you can see in the video impressions, captured by comrade "Hong Gil-dong..". But because of yesterday's police terror today's part of the "Village Festival" was far away from festive mood..
* Here some pictures from yesterday:
