		The defeat of the Roh Tae-woo regime was a result of long years of struggle of the South Korean people.
		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.
