A protester waving South Korean national flag on top of a police bus \u003cbr/\u003e39. Wide of the crowd \u003cbr/\u003eTens of thousands of South Koreans rallied on Saturday night against a government decision to import US beef in the largest demonstration in a month of almost daily protests.\u003cbr/\u003eAP Television footage showed protesters pushing a police vehicle, and scuffling with the officers. \u003cbr/\u003eLater they were spayed by a water cannon after being blocked by police buses on the road leading to the presidential Blue House in the early hours Sunday.\u003cbr/\u003eEarlier, a crowd estimated by police at 38-thousand people filled a plaza in front of city hall. Protesters lit candles, waved placards and chanted slogans criticising President Lee Myung-bak.\u003cbr/\u003eSouth Korea agreed in April to reopen what was formerly the third-largest overseas market for US beef. \u003cbr/\u003eIt had been shut for most of the past four-and-a-half years following the first US case of mad cow disease in a Canadian-born cow in Washington state in 2003.\u003cbr/\u003eThat deal, coupled with some sensational media reports, sparked fears of mad cow disease and triggered protests calling for scrapping or renegotiating the agreement.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Dictator Lee Myung-bak,\" read signs waved at the protest, far larger than previous rallies, which have reached up to 10-thousand people.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Nullify the agreement! Lee Myung-bak Out\" said another sign.\u003cbr/\u003eStudents, labour union members and office workers were among those who filled the plaza, which was surrounded by special buses used by riot police.\u003cbr/\u003eThe rally was largely peaceful, with most protesters dispersing voluntarily. Some later marched through downtown streets shouting slogans and singing songs, and leaders urged the crowd to march to the presidential Blue House.\u003cbr/\u003ePolice blocked all roads leading to it, leading to the later scuffles.\u003cbr/\u003eAnger has intensified since Thursday, when the government announced it would implement the 18 April agreement with Washington and resume beef imports within days, despite widespread public opposition.\u003cbr/\u003eRallies in recent days have ended with protesters marching through downtown streets, where some scuffles with police have resulted. Police said they deployed about 11-thousand  personnel to protest sites in the capital on Saturday to guard against possible violence.\u003cbr/\u003eSeveral students joined the march and some shaved their heads in protest.\u003cbr/\u003e\"(The president) is not aware of the power of the people,\"said  24-year-old student Joo Ha-na. \u003cbr/\u003e\"We're desperate to let him know our mind, and I've shaved my head to let him know that not only the US beef imports deal was not the right thing to do, but also of all the policies that are anti common people,\" she added. \u003cbr/\u003eThe beef issue has emerged as the biggest domestic challenge for Lee's fledgling administration. \u003cbr/\u003eThe former construction industry chief executive took office on 25 February on a vow to boost the economy and is approaching his 100th day in office.\u003cbr/\u003eThough his margin of victory in December's election was the largest ever in South Korea, his handling of the beef agreement has seen his popularity plummet to levels near 20 percent.\u003cbr/\u003eThe timing of the deal, just hours before a summit with US President George W. Bush at his Camp David retreat, struck a particularly raw nerve.\u003cbr/\u003eProtesters claim Lee was too quick to concede to US demands for access to South Korea's market to win favour with Washington and garner support in Congress for ratification of a separate free trade agreement.\u003cbr/\u003eEarlier on Saturday, about a dozen farmers in traditional funeral clothes marched on a downtown street on the way to the protest site, carrying signs with anti-government slogans, along with the severed head of a cow.    \u003cbr/\u003eOn Friday, South Korea's political opposition asked the Constitutional Court to block US beef imports, saying the government's policy on the American meat violated the people's right to health.\u003cbr/\u003eScientists believe mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy, spreads when farmers feed cattle recycled meat and bones from infected animals. \u003cbr/\u003eThe US banned recycled feeds in 1997.\u003cbr/\u003eIn humans, eating meat products contaminated with the cattle disease is linked to variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a rare and fatal malady.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
