Police raid Starbucks Korea headquarters over 'Tank Day' fiasco
South Korean police have raided the national headquarters of Starbucks over defamation claims surrounding a controversial marketing campaign.
Starbucks Korea had in May launched a coffee tumbler promotion called "Tank Day" on the anniversary of the 1980 Gwangju Uprising, where hundreds were believed to have been killed by military forces.
Many felt the "tank" was a reference to vehicles deployed to crush pro-democracy protesters and the promotion sparked a mass boycott movement.
Starbucks quickly rolled it back, saying it was unintentional but civic groups filed a

'My grandmother subjected my baby to female genital mutilation behind my back'
With around 300,000 members, the Great Emberá Nation is one of Colombia's largest Indigenous communities, with populations also living in Ecuador and Panama.
One theory about why members of the community practise FGM, when it's rarely seen elsewhere in Latin America, is that the practice arrived with enslaved people from African countries.

'I feel like I dug my own grave': The workers caught in the AI transition
