‘Step down, criminal!’ Tens of thousands demand South Korean president’s ouster

‘Over 40,000 took to streets of the South Korean capital, Seoul, on Saturday, demanding the resignation of President Park Geun-hye over a massive influence-peddling scandal.
The rally gathered around 43,000 people, police said, while the organizers put the attendance at well over 100,000. It was one of the largest protests in South Korea since the demonstrations against US beef imports back in 2008.
