South Korean protesters have clashed with riot police at a rally against the resumption of US beef imports. The demonstration came hours after the US secretary of state vouched for the health of American cattle.
About 15,000 people staged a street demonstration in Seoul on Saturday night, demanding the government withdraw its decision to lift a ban on US beef imports. Several hundred protesters were hurt during the rally that continued until Sunday morning.

Police say the clash left more than 100 riot police injured, and about 50 protesters were arrested on charges of assaulting police and illegally occupying streets.

Police say they are considering using tear gas if violent demonstrations continue.

  • Thanks for showing that some koreans do not agree with the stupid protestors. Respect.

  • That would be true if you were totally ignorant about East Asian History and East-Asian politics.

  • Liar. Korean high school students were running around crying about how hard they had studied , and now America was trying to kill them with poisenous beef. Don't backpeddle....Koreans acted like morons about this whole thing. That's what happens when a society doesn't value critical thinking or the ability to think for yourself instead of following the group.

  • All that over beef?

  • Koreans are about 50 times more civilized than the Chinese. We don't shoot, kill and torture political dissidents and allow them to have opposing political parties. LOL.

  • well, nobody shot anybody yet. There you have your difference
