South Korean police are bracing for a fresh anti-government protest in Seoul on Saturday, with critics accusing President Park Geun-Hye of increasingly resembling her authoritarian late father's heavy-handed rule.

Some 18,000 police backed by water cannon will be deployed to keep order when an expected 50,000 protesters take part in the rally outside the City Hall.

Police had initially banned the rally but organisers appealed to the Seoul Administrative Court, which overturned the order, paving the way for a second massive protest in the capital in the space of a month.

The first rally on November 14 drew around 60,000 people and saw numerous clashes between protestors and police using water cannon.

Organisers vowed to mount a peaceful demonstration this time and some 300 religious figures including Buddhists, catholics and protestants, who will each carry a flower in their hand, plan to set up a human wall to separate protesters from police.
