SEOUL (Reuters) - The head of one of South Korea's two main labour groups turned himself over to police on Thursday after holing up inside a Buddhist temple for nearly four weeks to evade arrest for organising a violent anti-government protest last month.
Han Sang-gyun, the head of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), the more strident of the country's umbrella labour groups, had sought sanctuary at the downtown Seoul temple after speaking at the rally on Nov. 14, where he urged members to protest against the government's labour reform policy.
