Buddhists and monks march on streets during a protest denouncing alleged government bias against their religion in Seoul August 27, 2008. Tens of thousands of grey-robed Buddhist monks in straw hats flooded a park in central Seoul on Wednesday to protest against President Lee Myung-bak, a Christian, who had named several members of his Presbyterian church to his transition team before taking office in February. Buddhists were further upset when government maps released online in June did not list sites such as Buddhist temples. [China Daily/Agencies]
