South Korean
police on Monday detained six people for allegedly illegally entering a Japanese diplomatic facility in
South Korea and staging an anti-Tokyo demonstration there.
The incident came amid growing anti-Japanese sentiments in South Korea as the two countries are locked in trade and political disputes.
The six men and women were given temporary passes to enter the Japanese consulate in the southeastern city of Busan earlier Monday after they told staff there they would visit a library inside the building, according to Busan police officers.
