The baseball team at Pai Chai High School in Seoul, which was handed a six-month suspension for chanting slogans disparaging the May 18 Democratization Movement, filed an appeal with the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee’s Sports Fair Committee today (July 8).
Pai Chai High School also submitted a petition from its faculty members. Previously, the opposing team, Gwangju Jeil High School, had appealed for leniency to allow the students of the Pai Chai High School baseball team a fresh start.
The Korean Sport & Olympic Committee is expected to deliberate on this matter as early as the end of this month.
