| An anti-whaling campaigner holds a placard at a street rally in central Seoul, Wednesday. The rally, organized by seven local environmental organizations, took place before Japan's resumption of commercial whaling on July 1, following a three-decade hiatus. Japan withdrew from the International Whaling Commission in December to resume commercial whaling despite international criticism. According to Japanese media, a whaling fleet of five vessels will leave Hokkaido on July 1. Korea Times photo by Shim Hyun-chul |
