4:37 pm
surfaced in 1987. and i'm sure you know all the details of the horrific abuse so hard by those who had to stay in this facility, not to mention any people died. and as a result on there was a great deal of media publicity in the 8. he's anybody in your ninety's and was made the story even more shocking. south korea is the perpetrators of this crime. well, i really very lightly on and the founder of the facility and even when on to continue doing so called charity work after he was released from prison. and the family continues to maintain substantial fortune to ride from this there's so many aspects to this, but as you are going to say, the case already had come to light in 1987. what confounds me is that it's taken on to last month for this call for an apology to be issued by has it taken so long?

support from the state, and in fact, to the contrary, many police officials attempted to conceal what happened within brother's home, especially in the city of san where the institution was located. the officials from the city government are known to have threatened survivors and told them not to go public with the story. so yes, they were indeed less concerned for themselves on me this year after the findings of the truth and reconciliation commission, stuff it together attention. we heard from various government entities and also the city of post on that. they want to provide more support from now on 35 years relieve their thanks so much for joining us today. i see one call from korea exposure. thanks so much me.
