At this year's Korean Independence day [1], a Korean guy held a one-man protest at the Yasukuni shrine [2] in Japan, a symbolic and controversial place for worshiping war criminals from the Second World War. A net user living in Japan posted photos [3] of how the protester was being chased and beaten by numerous Japanese right wing groups and gangsters.
