Yesterday(11.14) afternoon: About 130,000 workers(organized in the KCTU), farmers and members of civic groups gathered peaceful in central Seoul to protest against the government’s push to reintroduce state-authored history textbooks, "reform" the labor sector and open the agricultural market...

But only a short while later the situation - "thanks" to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency! - escalated, as you can see here in a short summarizing video report(incl. English subtitles/related English reports you'll get here)...

Related reports in Korean, incl. lots of pics, you'll get on LabourStart(please check out the links posted 11.14/15!)...

By all means, the Park Geun-hye government finalized its plan to adopt state authorized history textbooks. This is an act of terrorism against democracy and the Constitution. The government ignored the Constitution, democracy and the opposition of the majority of the people. It also ignored the advice of the international community including the United Nations (UN) and international teachers' organizations. Despite criticism that the government was following in the footsteps of North Korea, Nazi Germany, and Japan's militarism, the government did not bother to even pretend to listen...(editorial by Kyunghyang Shinmun, 11.4)
