People marched both in support of and against the decision made by the country’s constitutional court in the capital Seoul on Friday.
Rival demonstrations swept the South Korean capital Seoul on Friday after a court forced the country’s first female president, Park Guen-hye, from office. Supporters of Park protested outside the Constitutional Court when it to impeach her following allegations of corruption — the first time a democratically elected leader of the country has been removed from office. Protesters were reported to have shouted “let’s destroy the constitutional court,” and police said two men died during the demonstration. The men were both identified only by the surname Kim and as being aged 72 and 66 years old. The first is believed to have died in the hospital after a speaker fell from a police bus, and he was found bleeding profusely from his head.
