標題:Koreans turn out in force for Roh
新聞來源:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8073100.stm (須有正確連結)
Tens of thousands of South Koreans have turned out in Seoul for the funeral
of former President Roh Moo-hyun, who killed himself last week.
簡單來說,成千上萬的民眾出現在首爾,為前總統盧武鉉送別
基本上,現任政府高層全部皆參與了告別式
當然也有現任總統李明博(Lee Myung-bak)、總理韓昇洙(Han Seung-soo)
在告別式上
總理對盧前總統的貢獻,說出如下所述
"Mr Roh dedicated himself to democracy and he would not be forgotten"
總統則是獻上花圈,不過此時他面對著騷亂跟噓聲
當時有人欲向前抗議,不過被安全人員阻止
(OS:照片有記錄到,台灣的類似勸阻相對仁慈了點)
在火化儀式中,總理又講了些話如下
Mr Han said Mr Roh had "spent his life fighting for human rights, democracy
and the end of authoritarianism".
"We will strive to follow your last wishes for reconciliation, unity and a
better nation," he said.
原意就是,盧前總統耗盡心力為人權、民主與終結獨裁而戰
國人應該跟隨其遺願和解、團結為更好的國家努力
那麼參與告別式的民眾怎麼看待這件事?
"I am so sad. He was a president of the common people," Gum Young-Don, a
32-year-old accountant, told AFP news agency.
"Even if I did not support all his policies... he made great efforts to take
care of the underprivileged and destroy authoritarianism in every corner of
government."
"I think the former president was hunted by conservatives," said another
mourner, housewife Lee Ae-ran.
以上,綜合大意是
有人認為盧武鉉是「平民的總統」
即使不支持他,也認為他對韓國底層民眾的關懷、獨裁體制的終結頗多貢獻
更有人認為,他是被保守派所獵殺
==
當然,韓國政府最不希望看到的事情,還是出現了
現在首爾街頭已經出現示威
地點是在市政廳
以下是BBC記者的敘述
Tonight in Seoul, there is a stand-off on the wide avenue near City Hall.
On one side, there are ranks of riot police in their black uniforms and two
mobile water cannon with red flashing lights cutting through the darkness in
wide sweeps.
On the other side are the protesters. Earlier, they had been mourners. Now,
many hours after the funeral has finished, they are refusing to leave.
There is much yelling. Some speeches, lots of slogans, but the aggression
appears to be mostly rhetorical for now.
Whether that will change as the bars in the downtown district empty later on
is not clear.
以上大意是
晚上的首爾市政府週邊大道
鎮暴警察與示威者正對峙著
稍早的告別式致意者,有不少人現在成為了示威者
街道的淨空可能還得再等等...
以下連結是今日現況

從照片中看來,今天的首爾,並不像先前外電所稱的,一切平靜
還是可以看到有年輕女性與鎮暴警察的衝突照片 :P
有關示威的部份,BBC額外發佈一篇新聞
稍後補上
