On the occasion of the 12·12 military revolt, a civic group held a condemnation rally near Chun Doo-hwan's home and urged "Judge those who committed massacre."
18 organizations including Gwanghwamun Candlelight Solidarity held a statement reading and performance near the home of Doo-Hwan Chun in Yeonhui-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul on the 12th.
According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government's quarantine regulations prohibiting gatherings of 10 or more people, they stood at a distance of more than 50 meters and continued the assembly.
Organizations emphasized, "Even though Chun Doo-Hwan's 5·18 helicopter shooting was convicted in recent years, he received only a light sentence of probation, but there was no apology." I did.
Also, referring to the fact that the '5·18 History Distortion Penalty Act' has recently passed a plenary session of the National Assembly, he added, "Now denying the 5·18 in Korea is no different from denying the Holocaust in Europe."
