Korean farmer kills himself in protest CANCUN (Mexico) - A South Korean farmer and former lawmaker fatally stabbed himself in the chest during a demonstration against the ongoing talks of the World Trade Organisation. Friends of 56-year-old Lee Kyung-Hae called his suicide a ceremonial act. WTO officials said Mr Lee had spent at least two months recently camped out in front of the organisation's headquarters in Geneva, holding up signs that accused the trade group of killing people. Protesters read a statement saying Mr Lee committed suicide because 'the WTO was killing peasants around the world' and called on the South Korean delegation to leave the talks. -- AP, Reuters
