About 200,000 people attended a rally in downtown Seoul, South Korea, yesterday — right in front of its City Hall.

They were protesting the religious bias they accuse the government of holding against Buddhists. Read my original article about the Jogye Order, the denomination leading the protest.

Among the 200,000 people, police estimated 60,000 of them were Buddhists (including 7,000 monks).

They issued a resolution asking the president (Lee Myung-bak) to take notice of religious bias, to stop religious discrimination, and to unify the nation.
