Anniv. of pro-democracy demonstration

Prime Minister Han Duck-soo places a wreath of condolence flowers in front of an altar at the March 15 National Cemetery in the southeastern coastal city of Changwon on March 15, 2023, to pay tribute to democratic fighters killed in a 1960 pro-democracy demonstration. South Korea marked the 63rd anniversary of the pro-democracy demonstration in the city that added fuel to mounting public protests against the dictatorial regime of then President Rhee Syng-man. A nationwide protest took place on April 19, 1960, forcing the president to step down. (Yonhap)
