South Korea’s Yoon launches vicious attack on unions, peace groups

In scenes reminiscent of South Korea's authoritarian past, South Korea's National Intelligence Service - the successor to the once-dreaded KCIA - raided the headquarters of the country's second-largest and most militant labor federation on Wednesday morning. Security forces also raided a "peace shelter" on Jeju Island that is dedicated to remembering the Sewol, a passenger ferry that capsized off the coast of southern Korea in April 2014.
