South Korean police put more than 200 members of the main opposition party, including all its leaders, under house arrest to stop them from attending a major party meeting, party officials said. About 300 riot police also surrounded the New Korea Democratic Party headquarters to prevent members from gathering there to plan a national campaign for constitutional reforms and direct presidential elections. For dissident Kim Young Sam, it was the third time in a week that he has been placed under house arrest.
