Pyongyang, May 23 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson of the Minju Party of south Korea demanded probe into the truth behind the Kwangju massacre and the punishment of the chief culprit responsible for it on May 18, according to the south Korean News 1.

The crimes, committed by the Chun Doo Hwan military dictatorial forces during the uprising, such as the massive fire by the martial law enforcement troops, helicopter strafing and mass sexual assault have been fully revealed, but Chun Doo Hwan, the chief culprit of the massacre, denies the facts, refusing to show the slightest sign of self-examination, the spokesperson charged.
