In the afternoon about 40 political veterans and 120 young people started a demonstration in Daehak-no and marched to the area near Kyobo B\/D, downtown Seoul. There the cops provoked again, like on several demonstrations before, with blocking the final marching point. So the stage, a cultural festival was planned here, had to be built one block before the official place.<br>\r\nDuring the early night about 5000 people &ndash; mainly supporters of so-called &ldquo;national liberation&rdquo; political wing (\"left\"wing nationalists, but not really progressive) - gathered there, followed the program&hellip; and clashed at least twice with the large units of riot cops.
