Pyongyang, November 29 (KCNA) -- At least 3,000 people from all walks of life held a candlelight rally in Seoul on November 26 to denounce the "Grand National Party" for railroading the "motion for ratification of Free Trade Agreement". They included those of opposition parties and members of the Headquarters of the All-People Movement for Checking the Conclusion of the south Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement.

Speakers called on all the people to turn out to render the motion invalid by all means and mete out punishment to the ruling forces.

The authorities hurled the police to the scene to encircle the venue but people will never give up but respond with more vigorous candlelight actions, they said.

After the rally the protesters marched toward Chongwadae defying the police cordon.

Other people joined the demonstrators, bringing the number to more than 10,000.
