SEOUL,
South Korea (AP) — Hundreds of South Koreans have gathered in Seoul to protest
the arrest of a labor union leader who may face a rarely used sedition charge
over the eruption of violence at an earlier anti-government protest.
The
demonstration on Saturday is the latest in a series of mass protests in recent
months of conservative President Park Geun-hye, who has been criticized for her
increasingly harsh treatment of union members and dissidents.
The
government has clamped down on labor and civic groups involved in organizing a
huge demonstration on Nov. 14, when dozens were injured in a clash with police.
Prosecutors
are considering indicting arrested Korean Confederation of Trade Unions
President Han Sang-gyun for sedition, a charge unseen in South Korean courts
since the 1980s when the country was under military dictatorship.
