Conservative activists dismantle Roh's memorial altar

  
SEOUL, June 24 (Yonhap) -- Two conservative groups Wednesday removed a memorial altar for the late President Roh Moo-hyun set up by his supporters in the heart of Seoul, saying that the police have neglected their duty by leaving the "illegal" facility sitting there for over a month.

Officials at the National Action Campaign for Freedom and Democracy in Korea (NACFDK) and the Korea Agent Orange Veterans Association (KAOVA) said that they removed the makeshift altar for Roh in an early morning raid that began at 5:40 a.m.
