[단독]‘삼청교육대 발포’ 양심선언 전직 장교…의문사위 조서에선 ‘감호생 폭행 인정’

A former military officer has acknowledged in a statement that he was involved in physically assaulting Saecheon National University education students in 1981, according to a recent press conference by the former officer. The officer, who participated in a firing exercise that killed one student and injured five others, said he acted because he was angry and had a tendency to react quickly.

However, he denied any wrongdoing and claimed that the assault was justified. The statement contradicts a military investigation report that detailed the assault and placed the responsibility on the officer. The former officer's statement was made public after the media requested further clarification on the matter.
