Here is one more Roh Moo-hyun era organization that has been thankfully shut down:

The Investigative Commission on Pro-Japanese Collaborators??Property said Wednesday that it will conclude its four years of investigations as of June 12th.

The commission launched in 2007 under expectations that it would do what the Special Investigation Committee for Antinational Activities had not done immediately following Korea?? liberation from Japan?? colonial rule. The committee has seized some two-thousand-475 lots of land from 168 pro-Japanese collaborators.

The number of land confiscation cases includes those that were sold to third parties after the implementation of a special law on reverting properties but have been confirmed to have belonged to the pro-Japanese collaborators. The combined worth of those properties is some 237-billion won.

The head of the commission said that righting of the abused power regarding property should have taken place earlier. He added that the committee?? activities leave a lesson to posterity that treachery against one?? people must be punished and amendments made no matter how long ago it took place.  [KBS Global]

Like the Truth & Reconciliation Commission this was just another organization set up during the Roh years to attack the Korean right with, with the property seized given to “freedom fighters”.  This is something Robert Mugabe would come up with and it has been happening the past four years in Korea.

To put this into context could you imagine what would happen in the US if Congress created a committee that forced families that had distant relatives who were slave owners to give up their property to people who had distant relatives who were slaves?
