Unhealed wound
The memorial service
was held on April 3 to mark the 71st anniversary of the Cheju
popular uprising.
The Cheju popular
uprising originated to oppose “separate election” fabricated by the US and
Syngman Rhee clique and colonial domination of the US over south Korea and to
demand the establishment of a unified government of Korea.
More than
30 000 innocent people were killed by brutal violence of the Rhee regime, one
third of them were children, women and the aged.
The
uprising was the worst atrocious case which claimed many casualties, we pray
for the bliss of the dead and sympathize with the bereaved families, the ruling
Democratic Party, the Party for Democracy and Peace and the Justice Party said
through commentaries of their spokesmen. They vowed to railroad “amendment on
the uprising” through the parliament.
The south
Korean mass media said that the amendment should be ratified as early as
possible so that the investigation into the popular uprising caused by the Rhee
regime should be proved and the victims of the uprising be reinstated.
