SOUTH KOREA: PRESIDENTS CHUN DOO HWAN AND ROH TAE WOO PROFILE

(26 Aug 1996) Korean/Nat APTV Looks back on the events which culminated with Chun being sentenced to death and Roh facing years in jail. Chun Doo-hwan and Roh Tae-woo were childhood friends who followed each other into the military and now they will be following each other to prison. Chun was sentenced to death by a panel of three judges after being found guilty of overthrowing the government in 1979. But observers believe the sentence is unlikely to be carried out - it will automatically be referred to the court of appeal anyway. Chun made himself president in 1980 and was succeeded by Roh Tae-woo eight years later. Roh helped Chun to seize power and then to put down pro-democracy protestors in the southern city of Kwangju. The government admitted that 240 people were killed and a further 18 hundred wounded. Human rights groups say the death toll was much higher. SOUNDBITE: (Korean) "The same year, from May 18 to May 27, when the people of Kwangju protested for an end to the military junta and the removal of Chun Doo-hwan Chun and Roh called in the special forces and gave orders to kill and suppress the uprising." SUPER CAPTION: Lee Jong Chan, Head of Investigation, Seoul District Prosecutor's Office One woman who lived through the bloody events of 1980 - speaking at a rally earlier this month - said the two men's actions demanded strong punishment. SOUNDBITE: (Korean) "Chun Doo-hwan and Roh Tae-woo both deserve the death penalty to vindicate those who died on 18th May." SUPER CAPTION: Lee Kyee-reem, Kwangju resident The pair are widely hated by a generation of young radicals - who have brought the streets of Seoul to a standstill with protests against the leaders of the former regime. Thirteen other ex-generals were sentenced to prison terms between four and ten years for their role in the military regime.
