Ahead of anniv. of 1960 pro-democracy revolution

A mourner takes a selfie with the grave of his late friend, a democracy fighter named Min Byung-rok, at the April 19th National Cemetery in Seoul on April 17, 2026, two days before the 66th 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 rigging in the presidential election. The uprising forced Rhee to eventually resign. (Yonhap)
