In South Korea, national police chief Huh Joon-Young has resigned over the beating deaths of two farmers at a protest in Seoul last month. Chon Yong-chol and Hong Tok-pyo were among hundreds of farmers who rallied against the government’s decision to open up the country to state-subsidized rice of foreign countries. The protest took place ahead of the World Trade Organization summit in Hong Kong this month.
