[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The protest tent in front of the 5·18 Memorial Culture Center, where the May organizations are housed, was dismantled after 270 days.

According to the 5·18 Detained and Injured Association on the 2nd, the group began dismantling the tent early in the morning. The dismantling work is expected to be completed within the day.

The Detained and Injured Association started the tent protest on March 8, demanding the resignation of former chairman Moon Heung-sik and the normalization of the public law organization.

The tent dismantling on this day is said to have gained momentum recently as former chairman Moon voluntarily resigned.

The Detained and Injured Association plans to reconcile conflicts and focus all efforts on resolving current issues by sharing the office between the executive branch using the office and the emergency response committee conducting the tent protest.

Hwang Il-bong, Secretary General of the Detained and Injured Association, said, “With the resignation of former chairman Moon Heung-sik, voices arose among members that we should unite as one,” adding, “The 5·18 comrades will come together again to resolve past conflicts and unite their efforts to solve current issues.”
