Ahead of anniv. of 1960 pro-democracy revolution

A bereaved family member offers a cup of liquor in a traditional ritual at the grave of a democracy fighter at the April 19th National Cemetery in Seoul on April 18, 2025, one day before the 65th 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 of the presidential election. The uprising forced Rhee to eventually resign. (Yonhap)
