Anti-North Korea protesters burn a portrait of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il and anti-North Korea banners during a rally in Seoul August 13, 2009, demanding that the North return a South Korean fishing boat and its crew and release a detained worker. The head of South Korea's Hyundai Group went to North Korea on Monday seeking to win the release of a company worker whose nearly five month's detention has worsened already strained ties between the rival Koreas. The protesters also demanded that Hyundai Group stop business with North Korea. REUTERS/Jo Yong-Hak (SOUTH KOREA MILITARY POLITICS CONFLICT)
