Chief Culprit of Kwangju Massacre Must Be Brought to Justice
Pyongyang, May 21 (KCNA) -- According to the south Korean newspaper Nodong and Segye, the Confederation of Trade Unions held a gathering in front of the cemetery of victims of the May 18 Kwangju popular uprising on May 16 on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the uprising to vow to probe the truth behind the May 18 massacre and bring the Chun Doo Hwan group to justice without fail.

Speakers said it is necessary to launch an action to probe the truth behind the massacre and punish those chiefly responsible for it under the condition that the evil forces are labeling the victims as "mobs".

The organization in a statement called for forcing the murderers, who have led an abundant life without a sense of guilt after suppressing the people by force of arms, to pay dearly for their crimes in the name of history.
