S. Korea's Impeached Leader Silent as Protests Continue

South Korea's recently impeached president Park Geun-hye maintained her silence Saturday, remaining inside the presidential palace while rival protests continued in the streets.


Park has not been heard from since the Constitutional Court voted unanimously to uphold her impeachment on Friday and has not vacated the "Blue House" as the presidential residence is called, where her aides have said she requires more time to prepare for her move to her private home.

Tens of thousands of Koreans who supported the ouster took to the streets over the weekend, cheering and waving flags, while another group of those who supported Park vowed to resist what they call "political assassination.”

Seoul police anticipated violence between the two groups, particularly after three protesters were killed in clashes since the decision was announced.
