South Korean crowds gather
in largest protest since 1980
By PAUL SHIN
Associated Press Writer
SEOUL, South Korea Crowds chanting “Democra
cy!” swept through city streets yesterday, fighting police
with firebombs and fists in the largest anti-government
protest since President Chun Doo-hwan took power in
1980.
Tens of thousands of protesters in Seoul and at least 19
other cities attacked government buildings and police
stations, ripped up sidewalks for ammunition, beat po
licemen and tore off their uniforms.
Hundreds of people were injured and hundreds more
arrested, but police would not give definite figures.
Many onlookers and motorists cheered the protesters,
who timed their street demonstrations to coincide with a
meeting of Chun’s political party that endorsed the
president’s chosen successor.
“Kill me! Why don’t you kill me?” an elderly man
screamed as he tried to tyirl himself against a line of riot
police wearing green combat uniforms and black-visored,
helmets.
Outraged bystanders caught in the fights yelled abuse
at police, and crowds cheered when women attempted to
slap officers. “Look at what they are doing to our
mothers!” a man shouted. ,
Running battles raged through the broad streets of

Seoul’s main shopping and business districts, on the edge
of the government ministry area and around the main
hotels patronized by Westerners.
There were hand-to-hand clashes with fists and clubs.
Several police units were overrun by hordes of protesters
shouting “Down with the military dictatorship!”
Police were visibly shaken when many onlookers
cheered the protesters, or joined them, and motorists
honked their horns in support of the uprising. Street
battles lasted several hours in Seoul, and clashes still
were reported after midnight.
Observers said it was the greatest outpouring of opposi
tion to Chun’s administration since he assumed power, as
an army general, after the assassination of President
Park Chung-hee.
Opposition leaders, who seek greater democracy and
free presidential elections, had called for nationwide
protests to demand that the ruling Democratic Justice
Party cancel its convention.
The meeting was held and the party accepted Chun’s
choice of political ally Roh Tae-woo, also a former
general, to succeed him in February. Roh praised Chun
and pledged to continue his authoritarian policies, warn
ing the oposition: “Violence only breeds violence.”
Seoul’s central district echoed with the roar of thou
sands of protesters chanting slogans and the crack of
exploding tear gas grenades.
