South Koreans take part in a candlelight demonstration demanding the resignation of President Park Geun-Hye and calling for reform at the national spy agency in central Seoul. According to local media reports, the spy agency’s former chief Won Sei-hoon, who served under the regime of former President Lee Myung-Bak, was indicted on June 14th, 2013 on charges of ordering an online smear campaign to sway public opinion in favor of the ruling Saenuri Party candidate Park Geun-hye before last December’s presidential election, in violation of the country’s election law. |
