South Korean police said 25 leaders of a three-day sit-in at the U.S. Information Service building in Seoul have been formally charged and face up to seven years in prison if convicted. Of the 73 university students who occupied the building--demanding a U.S. apology for the alleged U.S. role in crushing a 1980 insurrection in the city of Kwangju--43 were referred to summary courts and could get 30-day sentences. Five others were released with a warning, and police are seeking five leaders of the National Student Federation, who planned the sit-in but did not participate.
