Uiju Massacre(義州虐殺事件) was an incident during the March 1st Movement in which Japanese soldiers massacred demonstrating crowds in Uiju. On March 29, 1919, Japanese soldiers attacked a crowd shouting for Korean independence at Yeongsan Market (永山市場) in Goryeongsakmyeon (古寧朔面), Uiju County, killing six of them.
At that time, relatives carried the bodies to the gendarmerie substation and, weeping, protested that they would not bury them until independence was achieved. Clashes broke out again, and many people were killed and wounded.
