Presentation scheduled for May 18th Movement
photo books.
The public presentation for the May 18th Democratic
Movement related photo books will be held on Tuesday at the Old Jeonnam
Provincial Office. The theme of ‘Gwangju’s Tear, The Day with Misery’ presentation is
hosted by Daeahnshin (대안신) Party Governors including
Park Ji Won (박지원), the May 18th Commemorative
Foundation and May 18th Movement Archives.
The books, which contain over 1700 photos, were created by the Defense
Security Support Command (DSSC) in 1980 and were relegated to the National
Archives last July. The books were hidden from the public as it was classified
as ‘reveal after May 18th Investigation committee activation
is finished.’
The photos show integral moments of the Movement such as the Martial Law
Troops brutal subjugation, victims who were killed by the troops, military
helicopters in the sky and more.
The presentation event will be held to reveal the hidden photos to the
public and inform them about the results of examination.
