Supporters of impeached leader clash with protesters

By Associated Press in Seoul | China Daily | Updated: 2016-12-19 07:33

Supporters of impeached South Korean President Park Geun-hye clashed with protesters on Saturday, as large crowds of demonstrators again gathered in Seoul to demand the scandal-ridden leader's immediate ouster.

The weekend protests over a corruption scandal pushed South Korea's opposition-controlled parliament to vote this month to impeach Park. The impeachment suspended Park's powers until the Constitutional Court decides whether she should permanently step down or be reinstated.

While polls measure Park's popularity in the low single digits, her impeachment has become a rallying point for her conservative supporters, who turned out in the tens of thousands on Saturday.
