Thousands of South Koreans rally in Seoul to call for Park’s release

‘Tens of thousands of South Koreans supporting arrested former president Park Geun-hye have rallied to call for her release.
Gathering in streets near Seoul City Hall, Park’s supporters, many of them in their 60s or older, chanted slogans like “Release President Park Geun-hye” and “Disband the National Assembly.”
“She has offered to sacrifice herself to protect the constitutionalism of the Republic of Korea and a free democracy,” a supporter said, referring to South Korea’s formal name.
Another rallier said that Park’s opponents “ruthlessly attacked a lonely woman who dedicated herself to the country” and that she would overcome her troubles to “live forever as a historical figure.”’
