Political parties on Tuesday commemorated the 70th anniversary of a bloody government-civilian clash
Political parties on Tuesday commemorated the 70th anniversary of a bloody government-civilian clash on the southern island of Jeju, with their views on the tragedy split across ideological lines.
The Jeju April 3 incident is a government-civilian clash from 1948-1954, an outgrowth of Korea's ideological division following its 1945 liberation from Japan's colonial rule. A 2003 government report put the number of civilian deaths at between 25,000 and 30,000, about 10 percent of the island's population at the time.
The liberal ruling Democratic Party noted that the victims in the incident "suffered from state power," in sync with the government's position that the tragedy resulted from the then-government's use of violence against innocent civilians.
"The Jeju incident is (a part of) the Republic of Korea's history that all citizens must remember," Kang Hoon-sik, the party's spokesman, told reporters. "We offer words of solace to Jeju islanders who had long suffered from (the abuse of state) power."
