Some civilian activist groups are poised to reignite candlelight vigil protests against the import of U.S. beef that evolved into nationwide antigovernment rallies in 2008. An anti-mad-cow-disease action group and the National Organization Against the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement declared that they will hold a large-scale rally in the plaza in front of Seoul City Hall on May 2, the fourth anniversary of the anti-U.S. beef movement.
