Police arrested 159 students in Seoul on July 4th during street clashes after renewed protest demonstrations against alleged election-rigging by the Government in June 8th elections for the legislature. Several other student demonstrations took place in other parts of the country. Universities and colleges have been closed for 3 weeks since 6 days of massive protest in mid-June. But on July 4th, when they were reopened with Government approval for the semester examinations, none of the students turned up - 15,000 of them were on the streets demonstrating however.
