SEOUL, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- Tens of thousands of people marched toward South Korean President Park Geun-hye's office Saturday, calling for her resignation over labor reforms and changes to textbooks.
Police officers fired water canons and tear gas at the crowd of between 70,000 and 130,000 protesters as they approached a barricade of 700 police buses, which were coated with cooking oil so protesters could not climb over them, in the largest protest in South Korea in several years, reported the New York Times.
