Call to arrest Chun
Civic activists hit a statue of former President Chun Doo-hwan with shoes and fists at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, Thursday, in a performance marking the 40th anniversary of the 1979 Dec. 12 military coup through which Chun rose to power. They called for the arrest of Chun who is accused of distorting facts about his military junta's violent suppression of the pro-democracy uprising in Gwangju in 1980. /Yonhap
