Memorial for independence fighter

Mourners bow in front of a portrait of Korean independence fighter Ahn Jung-geun during a memorial for Ahn in Seoul on March 26, 2026, to mark the 116th anniversary of his death. The independence fighter during Japanese colonial rule of Korea was executed at a prison in China by Japanese authorities after being arrested in 1909 for assassinating Ito Hirobumi, the Japanese resident-general in Korea, at a railway station in Harbin, a city in China's Heilongjiang Province.
