SEOUL: South Korea’s ousted leader Park Geun-Hye was holed up in the presidential Blue House Saturday as protesters took to Seoul’s streets demanding her arrest, a day after a court upheld her impeachment. Thousands of riot police were deployed as some 50,000 anti-Park protesters took to the streets to celebrate the verdict, chanting: “The people have won! Arrest Park!”Some 20,000 angry pro-Park flag-waving protesters rallied near the City Hall, demanding a review of the one-off decision. Her aides told the newspaper she had no immediate plans to issue a statement on the court decision or her future course of action. But that may no longer be an option once she leaves the Blue House, when she could face formal arrest if she refuses a summons.
