SYNOPSIS

There is the MB (the initial of President Lee Myung-bak) Fortress Wall still standing in the middle of Gwanghwamoon in spite of the two-month long candle lights demonstration. On June 22th, the citizens who gathered to climb the Wall were taken to the police. They tried to walk cross the crossroads at Gwanghwamoon for the end of demonstration, but the police blocked them for the reason of 'prevention of crimes.' The police forced the citizens to cross the underground footpath. A lawyer started a lecture on the Enforcement Law of Police's Duty, and then the police started to dismiss themselves.
