Pyongyang, December 24 (KCNA) -- Kim Young Sam on December 22 released Chon Doo Hwan and Roh Tae Woo, the two traitors who had been detained for the "December 12
Army purge coup" and Kwangju Massacre, which is a thrice-cursed crime, a Seoul-based radio said.
The Kim Young Sam regime set free Chun and Roh, who were sentenced to penal servitude for life and prison term of 17 years and kept in prison for two years or so under the pressure of broad segments of the people, and restored their "rights to citizenship", including political activity, the radio said.
Enraged at the release of the dictators of the "fifth and sixth republics", over 1,000 students of Yonsei University of South Korea demonstrated in protest against the "pardon" for Chun and Roh and in demand of the release of prisoners of conscience.
Members of the family movement for realising democracy (mingahyop) staged a demonstration in front of the Anyang Prison where Chun had been kept, in protest against the release of the two murderers.
