Pyongyang, November 16 (KCNA) -- The bereaved families of the victims of the May 18 Kwangju massacre and Kwangju citizens of south Korea launched an action in Seoul on Nov. 12 in demand of detention of traitor Chun Doo Hwan, the chief culprit of the massacre, according to the south Korean internet newspaper Voice of People. Enraged by the news that Chun Doo Hwan, who didn't go to trial under the excuse of illness, played golf, the bereaved families and citizens held a demonstration outside his house, chanting the slogan "Detain Chun Doo Hwan Immediately!" Demonstrators said Chun should be brought to trial in order to help the innocent Kwangju citizens who fell victim to the massacre vent their grudge and set right the wrong history. Chun and other culprits involved in the massacre should confess to all crimes before the history and the people, though belatedly, they stressed. The demonstrators burnt a scarecrow with a photo of Chun in token of their anger at him. |
