	CNN - South Korean presidents deny charges - Mar.11, 1996
		Chun Doo-hwan and Roh Tae-Woo are charged with masterminding a military coup in 1979 that allowed them to control the presidency for 13 years -- from 1980 to 1993.
		Prosecutors say Chun's taking of power was a mutiny because his junta arrested the then-martial law commander at gunpoint before forcing Choi to approve the arrest.
		Chun has denied the charges, saying that his investigators found the martial law commander was involved in the 1979 assassination of his mentor, President Park Chung-hee, and that Choi was not under duress when he approved the arrest.

	Preface (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		During the 13-month trial of Chun Doo-hwan and Roh Tae-woo when the South Korean people saw these two former presidents in prison uniforms appearing before the courts, the people who have suffered under them had the satisfaction of seeing that the rulers of South Korea are not above the law.
		The final judgment against the two former presidents created in the minds of the people a belief that the rule of law still prevails in their country and that future generations may be saved from the scourge of militarism.
		Therefore, it is in the interest of human rights and democracy in Korea to stop the unprincipled attempt to grant amnesty to these two convicted criminals who have harmed the people of South Korea and their democracy.

	Changes in Military Rule: The Park Chung Hee and Chun Doo Hwan Regimes
		Chun, for his part, accumulated some degree of personal power over the ruling bloc, but the possibility of his long-term rule was effectively blocked from the very beginning because he argued that a single term president presented possibly the only source of political legitimacy.
		This fact was significant in the transition from Chun’s rule; Chun’s fall did not require the sort of violence which was necessary in the transition from Rhee and Park because under his rule power was not entrenched exclusively in a personal dictator.
		Chun tried to reverse the historical flow toward a more open political and economic system and, in so doing, paid the price with the lives of hundreds of citizens.
