“Unidentified remains”, Old Gwangju prison site to be excavated further
Gwangju city and the relevant May 18th organizations, which began on January 28th, has started with excavation work to find the bodies of those who are believed to have been killed and buried in secret on the grounds of an old prison in Gwangju during the military junta's bloody crackdown on a pro-democracy movement in 1980.
This is to further check whether other remains were buried around the site of discovery of unidentified remains at the old Gwangju prison cemetery on the 19th of last month, and will continue early February
The remains were first uncovered in December during a government-led project to relocate a graveyard where deceased prisoners with no family ties were buried.
The discovery raised speculation the unidentified remains may belong to victims who went missing during a bloody crackdown on a pro-democracy movement in 1980, when citizens of Gwangju rose up against the military junta of General Chun Doo-hwan.
Tank-led paratroopers ruthlessly cracked down on the May 18 uprising, leaving hundreds of people dead, thousands wounded and 76 missing, according to the city's official records.
