More than 150 protestors in South Korea’s capital Seoul staged a march against North Korea on Tuesday. The angry protestors set fire to North Korean flags and burnt effigies of the Kim Jong-il during the protest.

During the protest, the demonstrators shouted slogans against North Korea outside the Hyundai building. The protest was organized on the second day of six-nation talks. The 6-nation talks currently going on in Beijing.

Protesters were demanding to get rid of the lack of progress during the talks. They demanded to be altogether to make North Korea agree to nuclear disarmament first.

According to the protest leader Park Chan-sung,

if the six-party talks fail to achieve North Korea’s nuclear disarmament during this round, we urge that these useless six-party talks be stopped and the North Korean nuclear issue be referred to the UN Security Council.

Earlier, North Korea was agreed to join 6-nation talks on its nuclear programs with the South Korea, the United States, China, Russia and Japan.

The protestors have another cause to protest. They were also protesting against the Hyundai group for organizing tours to the Diamond Mountain. The thousands of South Korean tourists go to visit Diamond Mountain in North Korea per year.
