Seoul Arrests 2 More for U.S. Library Sit-in
Police reported Saturday the arrest of two more college students for the May 23-26 occupation of a U.S. Information Service library in Seoul, bringing to 27 the number of students now held.
The two, including a 20-year-old woman, were arrested Friday on charges of instigating the occupation and leading a demonstration at Yonsei University to support it, police said.
It was the first arrest of students other than the 73 who seized the second-floor library at the U.S. Information Service building. Police placed 25 of the 73 students under formal arrest, turned 43 over to summary courts and released five.
