[ad_1] The honor of the lion of the priest JobioTrial in Gwangju at the site of the massacre 40 years ago Former Presidents Chun Doo-hwan (right) and Roh Tae-woo, who attended the case hearings on December 12 and May 18 on August 26, 1996. Material photo Chun Doo-hwan, 89, stands trial in Gwangju, the site of the massacre after 40 years. The Gwangju Citizens Association called for a strict punishment and clarification of the truth against Jeon. In particular, this trial is of interest because it judges whether there was fire from military helicopters at the time of May 18. On the 29th, the Gwangju District Court announced that the sentencing of Chun's repeal case against the late Father Jobio will take place at 2 pm on the 30th at the Gwangju District Court No. 201. In Volume 1 of his memoirs released on April 3, 2017, Jeon accused Father Jobio, who testified that he witnessed a helicopter shooting by martial law forces at the time of May 18, as "an unscrupulous liar without color for the word girlfriend ", and was sued by Father Cho's family. The biggest problem in this trial was whether the military fired by helicopter during the Democratization Movement on May 18. The crime of defamation of a lion is only established when the honor of the deceased is damaged by a 'false act'. If the helicopter shooting is true, Mr. Chun slandered the honor of Father Cho, who died in 2016 with 'false facts'. Regarding whether the helicopter was fired upon, the prosecution and Mr. Jeon had a tough legal battle, which included the summons of 36 witnesses for the 18th trial held until October this year. The prosecution determined that there was a helicopter fire by combining witness testimony and the results of the National Institute for Scientific Research investigation of the bullet marks at the Jeonil Building in Gwangju. On the other hand, Jeon denied it, saying, "If there was a helicopter fire, 100,000 Gwangju citizens would have witnessed it." Based on the results of this trial, the 5.18 researchers believe that the argument of the new military ministry for 40 years could be an opportunity to break the logic that “the 5.18 shot was the level of self-defense (right to self defense)". Author Lee Jae-eui said: “This trial is a fight against the May 18 distortion. Chun Doo-hwan even denied the 1997 Supreme Court ruling and tried to legitimize himself, but if helicopter shooting is admitted in this trial, it will all be in vain. " Gwangju Civil Society plans to hold an event near Gwangju District Court on sentencing day to demand apology and severe punishment from Mr. The 'Meeting to Love May' calls for restraint by tying large dolls with strings. The Gwangju Federation of National Artists Associations will present the 'March for Jobs', and groups 5 · 18 3 (grieving family, injured society, restricted injured society) and the 5 18 Memorial Foundation will announce their positions.
