Korean government suppressed peaceful march by power
- 37 people taken to the police and some wounded-
On May 24, about 40,000 koreans were marching with candles in their hand on Sejong street of Seoul. They were women with their children, students, farmers, handicapped people, and other citizens objecting beef imports from the US. and asking impeachment.
Beef importation is currently the hottest issue in Korea because the goverment decided to import beef that was 30 mos. old or more with materials without enough inspection system. Older cows have a greater chance of carrying mad cow disease. What aggravates people the most is that they could be used as human lab rats to test for the mad cow disease. Currently deaths caused by mad cow disease has been reported in UK, Netherlands, Spain, and the US.
People have voiced their opinions in hopes that the government will negotiate again to lower the age of beef. However, the government ignored. Additionally, President Lee Myung Bak has pushed forward a secret plan for the Great Canal project which will divide the whole country into pieces and damage ecosystem. Also he has kept reversing his statements and promises about systems of health insurance, public waterworks, education, and highways. He turned his head away from people's voice on all these.
With resentment and hope, people gathered with candles to speak their minds. After singing and sharing opinions, they marched along the street.
More and more people joined and the police started to blocked them to dismiss the gathering but failed. Soon the police pushed and hit people with shields and began to take people away who the police thought to take the lead. Then, water sprinklers arrived and shot water forcefully at them. Many of them cried and shouted about the freedom of speech. When the day broke, only 1,000 people were left and were preparing another gathering that will be held on Sunday.
At this time, the most surprising thing is that most Koreans didn't know about that situation. They can't hear from radio, watch on TV or read an article on newspapers about it because the government blocked all major broadcasting system and most internet portal sites and newspapers to control for its own use. Only few minor internet news have coverage about the scene. People who knew the situation through cell phones are now asking friends or aquaintance abroad to let others know about this shouting 'the freedom of press'.
Now about 80% of Koreans have negative views of the president and reprimand his poor administrating ability and his deceitful and dictatorial attitude toward people. His sole concern is to multiply money of 1% of Koreans. Korea is a democratic republic. Everyone knows that except President Lee and his admininstration.6. 안열려

'08.5.26 6:57 PM (121.146.xxx.169)Democracy Dying in South Korea
After 28 years, the call for democracy still continues
What is happening in South Korea; The media, like the government, refuses to report the truth - the people's desires for democracy and calls for a better future.
South Koreans first started a silent candlelight protest on May 2^nd^ 2008 against the newly elected president Lee's policies concerning the free trade agreement, privatization, and the Korean ownership of Dok-do. Mothers came with their children.
High school and middle school students came with their friends. Workers came after work to hold candles and ask President Lee Myung-Bak to reconsider his policies and live for the people.
While more than 20,000 people congregated in the middle of Seoul and some main cities of Korea, their numbers were reduced to a mere 5000 people by Korea's main news stations, KBS and SBS, and newspapers Choseon, Joonang, and Dong-A.
On May 24^th^, people congregated once again for a peaceful, candle-lit protest. Frustrated by the government's ignorance and media's indifference, a group of people stood up and started marching towards the Blue House calling for President Lee's impeachment. Suddenly, the unconcerned government responded with violence.
The peaceful protest soon deteriorated with threats and armies of policemen. Harsh lights were forced upon the bewildered people. A watering truck carrying water to spray onto the protesters and disperse the crowd was also thrown in.
A woman with a seven-year-old son on her back asked for mercy. Her cry for help was shut out by the police, who pushed her away roughly. Throughout the night people's peaceful protest was trampled upon by the police. 37 people were forcefully arrested, a few of them high school students. Students, children, old men, and women were all physically assaulted with shields, truncheons, and water.
The police, who were once the "protectors of the people" have become their oppressors.
All of this is currently only known by the people who participated in the protest that night. Korea's main news stations have not reported the unjust physical assaults of the police on the peaceful protesters. Rather they have distorted the truth, lying about the physical actions of the police and the spraying of forceful water onto the civilians, who were only holding candles for protection.
What once was a peaceful protest of 50,000 people is being portrayed as a riot of 500 people by the main Korea media.
Word is spreading through the Korean internet, and more and more people are assembling in the protest. Now people are not only asking for the president's reconsideration of his policies, but also for his impeachment, freedom of speech, and democracy in South Korea.
Already people are referring to the protest as a recurrence of the democratic protest that happened 28 years ago in May in Gwang-Ju, a city in South Korea, against military dictatorship.
While the president, the government, and the media remain silent, ignoring the wills of the people, Koreans themselves are collaborating to uphold the first rule of the national constitution, which clearly states that Korea's sovereignty lies in its people, and all state power comes from the people.
(i'm sorry if it felt like more of a petition. -someone else wrote this on an internet comm - and it wasn't exactly for this type of use(and yes,i got a permission from her). we're also planning to upload more news-like ones later. but then, we didn't really have enough time. people are getting beaten by police on streets as i do this. every possible media is under control; including major web search engines. hear us out.)
