“Please, Hold the Assembly Some Place Else,” Says the Chief of Police Station

In front of the Jeonnam Provincial Office in Gwangju on September 20, Park Hyun-ho, chief of the East Police Station, is persuading 200 farmers of the Korean Peasants League to hold the assembly elsewhere. The peasants, assembled with their trucks to protest against the opening of the rice market, insist on a referendum on the pros and cons to the opening the rice market.
