South Korean President Park Geun-hye is removed from office
Celebratory Rally in Seoul
South Korea Politics, Mar 11, 2017 : People attend a candle-lit rally as they celebrate after the Constitutional Court on Friday upheld the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye in Seoul, South Korea. The Korean characters on the wall of the Gwanghwamun Gate read,"Candlelight is not blown out". The ruling made Park the country's first president to be sacked by the parliamentary impeachment. Park became an ordinary citizen and is expected to face questioning by the prosecution. Park was impeached by the parliament last December for allegedly letting her long time friend Choi Soon-sil meddle in state affairs and colluding with her to extort millions of dollars from chaebols, including Samsung, local media reported.
