Protesters marched through the streets of Seoul Saturday demanding the repeal of ex-President Park Geun-Hye's impeachment. Prosecutors have ordered the ousted president to appear before them on Tuesday next week for questioning over the corruption scandal that triggered her dramatic downfall. A criminal suspect in the scandal, Park had repeatedly refused to make herself available for questioning by the prosecutors before the country's highest court confirmed a parliamentary impeachment motion against her.
Saturday's protest against the impeachment saw 2,000 of her supporters walking slowly, waving banners and national flags, including a huge one carried by some 100 people. They followed a black funeral limousine decorated with national flags. Friday's final ruling stripped her of power and executive privileges, including protection from criminal indictment, and she left the presidential palace at the weekend.
