Seoul: Protesters from ultra-right civic groups held an anti-China rally on Sunday, chanting slogans calling for the release of now-jailed former President Yoon Suk Yeol over his martial law bid. At 2:30 p.m., demonstrators from several conservative groups gathered at the square in front of Seoul Station in central Seoul and marched toward Namdaemun, which means "south gate."

According to Yonhap News Agency, the rally saw around 150 participants holding the national flags of South Korea and the United States while chanting slogans such as "(former) President Yoon Suk Yeol," "nullify the rigged election," and "arrest (President) Lee Jae Myung." Some protesters carried messages calling for the destruction of China's Communist Party and wore T-shirts commemorating the assassination of U.S. conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

During the march, there were no reports of physical clashes with police. Earlier this month, President Lee criticized the anti-China rallies as being "rife with profanity and hateful remarks that went beyond freedom of expression." He emphasized that such rallies do not align with South Korea's global status as "a model nation for democracy that values diversity and inclusiveness."
