Progressive activists held a series of rallies and marching campaigns to make their anti-war, anti-U.S. position heard throughout Jongno and Daehangno.
Represented in these rallies, which drew together more than 10,000 participants, were the radical student group Hanchongnyeon, the United Front for Unification (an association of civic groups advocating engagement with North Korea) and a civic group formed to bring justice to the deaths of two Korean girls by a U.S. armored vehicle in June 2002.
Hanchongnyeon organized an illegal rally at a U.S. firing range last week where a dozen protesters climbed onto an armored vehicle and burned U.S. flags.
