South Korean police have clashed with protesters rallying against the G20 summit to be held later this week in Seoul.
Tens of thousands demonstrated against the summit, which will be attended by Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard and US president Barack Obama.
The demonstrators chanted slogans and carried huge banners denouncing the G20.
Carrying riot shields and wearing gas masks, the police used pepper spray to disperse the protesters.
Fearing violent demonstrations when world leaders arrive, police will deploy tens of thousands of officers around Seoul for the G20 summit, which starts on Thursday.
Security forces are also bracing for the possibility North Korea may also attempt to disrupt the meeting, with thousands of military personnel to be positioned at key buildings and on mountain areas overlooking the summit venue.
