Punish homicide!

Punish homicide! On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Gwangju Popular Uprising, broad segments of south Korean people launched their action in demand of punishment of Chun Doo-hwan who turned Gwangju into a bath of blood and killed five thousand citizens brutally.          Democracy would not come true as long as Chun and his group and the United Future Party, a remnant of the military dictatorial group, remain unpunished. It called for the people to greet a new morning of democracy by liquidating the conservative elements, the Solidarity for People’s Sovereignty noted in a statement issued on the 40th anniversary of Gwangju Popular Uprising on May 17. Saying that putting an end to the US intervention in south Korean affairs and achieving national independence are the way to realize the desire of the uprisers, the statement called for building a new society by driving the US, the wire-puller of the Gwangju massacre, out of south Korea.
