NSTworld “I am happy that my father’s undeserved death has been proven.”
Chang Hwan-bong, then 29, was among hundreds of people who were accused of helping left-leaning soldiers in an armed uprising against the government in the southwestern cities of Yeosu and Suncheon in 1948.
But in 2009, a government truth panel found that around 438 civilians – including Chang – had been unjustly convicted and killed for collaborating with the rebel troops. Chang’s daughter filed for a retrial in 2013, which was approved by the Supreme Court in March last year. “As a member of the judiciary, I want to make it clear that the execution of the ruling was by illegal power of the government and I make a deep apology,” said judge Kim Jung-ah.
