Marking 1980 pro-democracy uprising

Listen

Residents march in front of the Asia Culture Center in Gwangju, Saturday, carrying large-sized puppets made in commemoration of the victims of the 1980 Gwangju pro-democracy movement. On the ground are pictures satirizing conservative politicians, scholars and activists who have defamed the movement as well as former President Chun Doo-hwan who led the military junta that cracked down on the protesters.
