Latest news: it seems that most of the arrested protesters have now been released, although 11 Korean farmers remain in custody and are being charged with public order offences according to the Korea Times. So it seems that the other thousand or so people they arrested, strip-searched, slapped etc were really a matter of revenge and perhaps a warning to the people of China and Hong Kong: don’t follow the example of the anti-WTO protesters.
