Tens of thousands of people gathered in downtown Seoul to denounce the government..."Kim Gunhee, special prosecutor".

Tens of thousands of people gathered at a government-criticized rally in downtown Seoul, with representative Lee Jae-myung receiving a suspended prison sentence in the first trial for violating the Public Official Election Act.

This afternoon, 25,000 people estimated by the police and 100,000 people estimated by the organizers attended a rally to criticize the government and call for special prosecutors organized by the civic group "Emergency Action to Deny Rights" in Gwanghwamun.

They said representative Lee Jae-myung is not guilty and urged President Yoon Suk Yeol to accept Kim Gun-hee's special prosecutor.

As the number of rally participants has increased, some lanes are being closed from the red line intersection to the intersection at the same time.

Police have deployed more than 3,000 task forces to barricade themselves around the scene and are preparing for an emergency.

The rally participants will also stage a city parade.
