A South Korean Buddhist monk is in critical condition after setting himself on fire during a mass protest against the impeached President Park Geun-hye, officials said.
The unnamed monk, in his 60s, set himself alight late on Saturday in Seoul where hundreds of thousands returned to the streets for the 11th week to demand Park’s ouster. He left a note urging authorities to arrest the scandal-hit president for committing “treason,” the Yonhap news agency reported.
