Riot police officers sleep on a street during a rally demanding the full-scale renegotiation of the U.S. beef import deal and the resignation of South Korean President Lee Myung-bak in Seoul June 26, 2008. South Korea will allow the resumption of U.S. beef imports starting Thursday, the ruling party said on Wednesday, implementing an unpopular deal that sparked street protests and caused a crisis for the government.
