April's fallen martyrs
![A young elementary student sits in front of the tomb of someone who fell during the April Revolution of 1960 at the April 19th National Cemetery in Suyu-dong, Gangbuk District, northern Seoul, Tuesday. The revolution, often simply referred to as April 19, was a protest movement against Korea’s first president Syngman Rhee, who resigned as a result of the uprising. The protests started when the body of a high school student, who was killed by the police while demonstrating against a rigged election, was found. Some 186 people lost their lives during the movement. [YONHAP]](https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/data/photo/2023/04/18/2af4bc17-cb7b-4331-b7cb-5a80e9841c51.jpg)
