South Korea: Moon vows to reopen probe into Gwanju massacre
SOUTH KOREAN President Moon Jae In vowed yesterday to reopen the probe into a 1980 massacre of pro-democracy protesters.
Mr Moon made the pledge at an anniversary commemoration in Gwanju, where hundreds were killed in a crackdown by the military dictatorship.
He was the first president to attend the event since 2013, when his disgraced predecessor Park Geun Hye came in the first year of her presidency.
