Demonstration by junior high and high school students in Seoul
Protest against the introduction of a state-approved history textbook, Oct 24, 2015 : South Korean middle and high school students attend a protest against South Korean government's plan for state-approved history textbook in Seoul, South Korea. Participants insisted that the state-approved history textbook would glorify pro-Japanese collaborators during the Japanese colonial rule (1910-45) in Korea and dictatorial regimes in contemporary history of South Korea. Signs read,"Stop state-designation of South Korean history textbook!" (bottom R) and "President Park Geun-Hye resign!". (Photo by Lee Jae-Won/AFLO) (SOUTH KOREA)
