YTN Radio interview with Cho Jin-tae, Executive Director of the Memorial Foundation on May 18
“The reality of the atrocities that occurred in the field has not yet been revealed”
Cho Jin-tae, executive director of the 5 18 Memorial Foundation, said: “During the Democratization Movement on May 18, Chun Doo-hwan, who was put on trial for defaming the late Father Jobio, who witnessed a helicopter shooting in Gwangju, he was convicted of defamation of lions. It is of great importance that the helicopter shooting was confirmed to be true. ”
In an interview with YTN radio, ‘Lee Dong-hyung’s news showdown’, Cho said, “I was on the court that day, but Jeon kept sleeping.” It was great, “she said. She added,” It was known that Ms. Jeon was not present, but after seeing that Ms. Jeon was present, I was wondering, ‘Is it because I thought I couldn’t go home today?’
Regarding the fact that Jeon was sentenced to two years of probation after eight months in prison, “it is significant that the court has confirmed that there was a helicopter fire,” he said. “Chun’s party continued to exercise the right to self-defense against civil war crimes in the 1980s.” I was opening the book, but it confirmed how vain the claim was and I think it was significant. ”
Still, he said, “However, in terms of anger and conflict that he gave people through his demeanor or behavior after the accusation, for example, he enjoyed a fancy dinner or golf, I think he should have faced severe punishment. ” “Wouldn’t that be so?”
Regarding the on-site reaction of the citizens of Gwangju, there was an atmosphere in which “there is no limit to erase the sins that are committed.” (Jeon) will be punished. There were a lot of sayings that I had to get it. “He said,” But there were a lot of reactions like ‘I’m still sorry’ and ‘He shouldn’t have allowed me to go home today.’
“The truth is, why hasn’t everything been revealed? Because Mr. Jeon distorted and manipulated it.”
On the fact that the veracity of the helicopter shooting was determined through the results of the verification of the national fruit tree and related testimony, but the problem of the first person who shot has not been resolved, he said: “Everyone knows (the foam), but it has not been verified. ” ) I think we have to track down and confirm Jeon to the end. “He noted that” the reality of the atrocities that occurred at the crime scene, such as the black burial issue, has yet to be revealed. ”
On the grounds that the truth has not been properly revealed even after 40 years have passed, he criticized “Chun distorted and manipulated the incident in the field.” Director Jo said, “After that, several times, the records were tampered with or destroyed through government organizations such as the NIS,” and said, “We created a situation where the commanders of the perpetrators could also falsely testify. He noted : “I took Jeon and former President Roh Tae-woo to court for murder for the purpose of civil rebellion, but shortly after they pardoned him, he lost the opportunity to reveal the truth.”
As the first problem in which the truth must be revealed, Director Cho cited “the missing person problem, the black burial problem.” He also said: “Six unidentified bodies are buried in the Democratic Cemetery of May 18.”
Regarding the environment when the judge said on this day, “(Chun) apologizes to the people and wants to be forgiven,” he noted that “Jeon was sleepy and expressionless.” Furthermore, he said, “The anger of the citizens’ grieving relatives against Mr. Jeon still remains even after 40 years,” regarding the citizens who threw flour and the like when he left the court.
