RSOI Civil Gathering

The Tongil Yondae, HanChongRyun, Pyongtongsa, and other Student Dissident Groups have declared they will conduct an Unregistered Civil Gathering at Yongsan Garrison, Gate #5, Seoul, on 25 March 2007, 1400 to 1700 to oppose RSOI. Risk is considered MODERATE due to the potential for violence and/or contact with USFK personnel.
Riot police buses lined up for blocks.

Riot buses on one side, protesters in middle, police line street.

Demonstrators carried banners, signs and flags. Groups fill the roadway some standing and some seated.


Police monitor the crowd to make sure the demonstration remains peaceful.


The middle of the 'action.'

Speaker at the civil demonstration. He was talking very passionately (and very loud) over a PA system, addressing the crowd.

Good girl, you stayed IN your car. Wow. After seeing the traffic photos I think you deserve a medal for taking pics while driving.
Awesome shots!

I'm glad to see you stayed IN your car as well! Those shots are amazing, and will be a wonderful memento after you leave Seoul. You should see if you can sell these to print media!
