On Friday the puppet constitutional court made a decision of accepting a motion calling for judgment for dissolving the UPP.

Claiming that "the objectives and activities of the party are like the north's revolutionary strategy toward the south in all aspects", the court declared that the party shall be disbanded and lawmakers from the party be deprived of their membership as "National Assemblymen" as this is contrary to the "constitution".

Thousands of members of the UPP, the Solidarity for Progress, the Confederation of Trade Unions, the Federation of Peasants Associations and other civic and public organizations held a candlelight rally at Seoul Square that day to protest against the decision of the court.

There happened something unprecedented in the political history of south Korea, speakers said, adding such racket which is little short of reviving "yusin dictatorship" is toughing off the resentment of all people.

It is the Park Geun Hye regime which should be dissolved, they said, shouting the chief executive should be stepped down as she is keen on suppression, trampling down democracy and causing the destitution of the people's living. They called for pooling efforts to remove the dictatorial power.
