Lee says state violence to be held to account, marking Jeju Uprising

President Lee Jae Myung on Sunday visited the Jeju April 3 Peace Park on Jeju Island to pay his respects to the victims of massacres that erupted on the island on the occasion of Jeju Uprising in the late 1940s. During his trip to Jeju, Lee said there will be no place for state violence in South Korea, as he pledged to remove the statute of limitations for cases linked to state violence, including homicide, torture and forced detention.
