Opposition leader blocked from pro-democracy fighters' cemetery

Jang Dong-hyeok (C), leader of the main opposition People Power Party, turns back from a national cemetery for slain pro-democracy fighters in the southwestern city of Gwangju on Nov. 6, 2025, after members of civic groups blocked him from entering the cemetery to pay tribute to them. The Gwangju May 18 National Cemetery honors hundreds of people who were killed in the city during protests against the military junta of Chun Doo-hwan in May 1980. (Yonhap)
