The governing party in South Korea is demanding an apology from a prominent artist for a satirical painting of its presidential candidate giving birth to her father.
The painting by Hong Sung-dam showed Park Geun-hye in a hospital delivery room after giving birth to a baby that bore the features and trademark sunglasses of her late father, Park Chung-hee - a former general who ruled in the 1960s and 70s.
Party officials describe it as evil propaganda akin to the work of the Nazis.
The BBC reports the painting is part of an exhibition in the capital, Seoul, that offers a critical perspective on Mr Park's term in office. It shows one doctor saluting the newborn, with another flashing the V sign.
Ms Park is the ruling party candidate for presidential elections in December.
Her father seized power in a military coup in 1961 and ruled until he was assassinated by his spy chief in 1979. He boosted the economy, but was accused of ruthlessly crushing dissent and delaying democratic development.
