Gwangju Citizens and May Organizations Call for Condemnation
A security fence will be installed in front of the Gwangju District Court in Dong-gu, Gwangju, on the afternoon of the 29th, one day before the trial of Chun Doo-hwan, accused of defaming the late Father Jobio, who witnessed the shooting in helicopter on May 18. Newsis
The first trial sentence of former President Chun Doo-hwan (89), who was accused of convicting a religious who presented a shooting from a helicopter at the time of May 18 in Gwangju, will be held on the 30th. In this trial , the historical significance is expected to be great as it will also be judged whether there has been fire from military helicopters.
According to the courts on the 29th, Chun’s first trial will be held at 2 pm on the 30th at the hearing of Deputy Judge Kim Jung-hoon while Chun is present at the 201st District Court of Gwangju. The prosecution has imprisoned Mr. Chun for one year and six months.
In a memoir published in 2017, Chun accused Fr. Jobio, who testified of a helicopter shooting at the time of May 18, as “ an unscrupulous liar with a colorless word, ” and was accused of defaming Fr. Jobio.
The crime of defamation can be established even if the facts are indicated, but the crime of defamation of lion is only established when it is admitted that the defamation of the deceased is a false fact. Therefore, whether or not there was a helicopter fire in Gwangju at the time of May 18 is a key issue in the trial.
The prosecution believes that the helicopter shooting was actually based on the testimony of witnesses, the investigation of the Special Investigation Committee 518 of the Ministry of National Defense, the results of the evaluation of the National Institute of Scientific Investigation of the bullet marks on the 10th floor of the Jeonil Building, which was the tallest in Gwangju, and the secret full text of the US Embassy in Korea. .
On the other hand, Jeon’s lawyer said, “If there had been a helicopter shooting, 100,000 Gwangju citizens would have witnessed it, and it was an incident that took place in broad daylight.” I came across that. Jeon also denied the accusation in court last April, saying, “As far as I know, there is no act of shooting from a helicopter.”
On the day of sentencing, the court announced that Gwangju citizens and civic groups would hold a cultural festival in front of the court calling for Chun’s conviction and requested the police to deploy security personnel to control the unexpected situation. The Gwangju Police Agency plans to deploy more than 600 people, including intelligence police and gang detectives, in cooperation with the Jeonnam Police Agency.
The citizens of Gwangju and the 5 · 18 three organizations (grieving family, injured association and arrested injured association) are scheduled to urge Chun’s judicial conviction starting at 12:30 pm on the 30th and propose a ‘march to him.
