Students claim stern punishment

A few days ago, the members of the Progressive Federation of Students of South Jeolla Province held a press conference to form a civil body for punishing the conservative groups and media which took the lead in the distortion of historical facts of the May 18 popular uprising. Disclosing the nature of ultra-rightist media and conservative elements including the People’s Power Party which have perverted the historical fact of the May 18 Popular Uprising and winked at the criminals, they noted that the mass media which defended those who are responsible for the massacre are sure to be severely punished.  We must remake the history and discussion on history has not yet finished. The civil body will expose the crimes of those who were involved in the Gwangju massacre and the conservative groups with positive activities and make them stand trial of history, they asserted. The members in the organization called for the people of different strata to render positive support to it.   The students declare the formation of civil organization to liquidate those who are responsible for the Gwangju massacre and the conservative groups
