Anti-US demos staged in South Korea

The people of South Korea have poured onto streets in tens of thousands to voice their protest against Seoul-Washington free trade.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Thousands of people gathered in the South Korean Capital, Seoul, urging the annulment of free trade treaty between Seoul and Washington.

Despite the approval of free trade agreement bill between the US and South Korea at the US Congress, the leaders of South Korean ruling party and opposition groups are yet to reach a consensus on this agreement.

The Seoul-Washington free trade agreement is the biggest US trade agreement as of the year 1994.

The Seoul-Washington trade stood at over $90bn, last year.
