Large crowds to demonstate against embattled South Korean President on Christmas Eve

Large crowds of South Koreans were expected to march in the streets calling for the permanent removal of impeached President Park Geun-hye and extending the biggest protest movement in the country to Christmas Eve.

The protest comes as a special prosecutor widens an investigation into a corruption scandal surrounding Ms Park, which saw millions of people take to the streets before the country's opposition-controlled parliament on December 9 voted to impeach her.
