Fear, secrecy kept 1950 Korea mass killings hidden

Fifty-eight years ago, at the outbreak of the Korean War, South Korean authorities secretively executed, usually without legal process, tens of thousands of southern leftists and others rightly or wrongly identified as sympathizers.

Unfortunely, it’s the standard procedure with cozy rightist autocrats, since a century ago or more.
