A member from a civic group holds a placard calling for the cancellation of China’s Olympic Games 2008 in front of a police agency in Seoul, Wednesday. A civic group representative filed a complaint with police against Chinese Ambassador, Ning Fukui, claming he should also be held accountable for the violence by Chinese students during the Olympic torch relay on Sunday.
The clashes on Sunday erupted as a small group of protesters demonstrated against China's forced repatriation of North Korean refugees and its crackdown on Tibetans. About 10.000 Chinese supporters, mostly college students, reacted to the protest violently: they threw water bottles, stones, pieces of wood and drink cans.
South Korea said Thursday that it will toughen entry visa rules for Chinese students in the wake of their violent protests during a recent Olympic torch relay in Seoul.
