# Democracy and Human Rights Memorial Hall

## Why go

The branch, which functioned as an interrogation and torture chamber, was built in 1977. This is where university student Bak Jong-cheol was tortured to death, which led to massive pro-democracy movements and forced Chun to agree the direct election of president.
