On the 14th, the group of conservative lawyers, “ Meeting of Lawyers for Human Rights and Unification on the Korean Peninsula (Hanbyun) ”, decided to provide legal support, as a free defense, against A, a former official of service, who reported the suspected preferential military leave of the son of Justice Minister Chu Miae on the 14th. I said yes. Han Byeon said: “The report of Mr. A, which exposed the vacation of Minister Chu’s son, is revealed as fact.” He explained the purpose.
That day, Mr. A requested “protection measures for reporters of public interest” before the National Rights Commission.
