Wounded Chinese prisoners-of-war arrive at Pusan. – Vintage Photograph

Seven hundred sick and wounded Chinese prisoners-of-war, who were being repatriated, staged a sit-down strike for three hours at Pusan, South Korea on April 15th, 2021.

Once the stretcher patients among the prisoners were taken off, the remaining prisoners shouted that they would not leave, demanding better treatment by United Nations guards. The photograph shows wounded Chinese prisoners-of-war being carried ashore at Pusan to be taken to Panmunjom and exchanged for United Nations prisoners of war in Chinese hands.Seven hundred sick and wounded Chinese prisoners-of-war, who were being repatriated, staged a sit-down strike for three hours at Pusan, South Korea on April 15th, 2021.
