SEOUL: Liberal and conservative civic groups of South Korea plan to hold separate rallies in front of the National Assembly in Seoul on Wednesday to mark the first anniversary of former President Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law declaration.
About 3, 000 people representing various liberal civic groups will gather at Exit 5 of National Assembly Station in Yeouido at 7 p.m. to reflect on their efforts to defy the December 3 martial law and impeach Yoon.
