Ahead of anniv. of 1960 pro-democracy revolution

Students of Korea University march through the school's gate in Seoul on April 18, 2023, as they take part in an event to remember late democratic fighters buried at the April 19th National Cemetery in the South Korean capital, one day before the 63rd anniversary of the April 19, 1960, pro-democracy revolution. The day commemorates students' movement against the autocratic rule of then President Rhee Syng-man after the discovery of massive election rigging in the presidential election. The uprising forced Rhee to eventually resign. (Yonhap)
