On the 13th, Minbyun issued a statement entitled “Condemning the order to review the legislation that violates Minister Chu’s right to object to statements under the Constitution and demands immediate withdrawal.” Minbyun explained: “The constitution clarifies the principle that no one shall be compelled to make statements that are criminally unfavorable to him. Under this principle, the Criminal Procedure Act also stipulates the right of the accused and the accused to refuse to make a statement.” “The mobile phone password is, of course, the subject of the refusal to declare.

He explained that although the XX National Assembly also imposed on the owners the obligation to cooperate with the access to the information storage media, and imposed a fine or mandatory execution fee for non-compliance with the law, the judicial administration expressed its opinion that it is “constitutional”. At the same time, Minbyun urged that “Minister Chu should withdraw the order to review the legislation” and urged that “as Minister of Justice, there must be self-reflection and apology to the people for this order that neglects the basic rights of the people.” .
The Participación Solidaria also issued a statement entitled “The introduction of ‘interference in judicial crime’ may violate human rights and counteract the reform of the prosecution service.” The Solidarity Participation said: “The Lee Myung-bak administration promoted the introduction and later reintroduced ‘obstruction of judicial offense’, which was abolished due to the controversy over human rights violations. It goes against ‘a,’ he noted. In addition, “The Ministry of Justice, which must protect the human rights of individuals and control the practices of investigations against human rights by prosecutors, has forgotten its duty to discuss individual cases and review said legislation. The review it must stop immediately. ”

○ Talking about the incident 秋, Room n
Minister Chu, about an hour after Minbyun and others’ conviction, was released and did not give in to his intention to continue pushing the bill. Minister Chu said, “The reason for promoting the study on the bill was the case of the ‘n-bang incident’ and the case of the prosecutor Han Dong-hoon. It was because it was necessary to prepare measures ”. Earlier, Minister Chu mentioned only the case of prosecutor Han Dong-hoon, who was assaulted by Gwangju District Attorney General Jin-woong Jung during the seizure and search of mobile phones on the 12th, but he suddenly added the case of Chamber n. A prosecution official said: “The day before, the British anti-terrorism law was introduced, and this time, the case of Chamber n was presented to explain the cause of the law.” Prosecutor Han took an additional position, saying: “(Minister Chu) is discarding the basic principles of liberal democracy only to retaliate against the investigation of the corruption of power on his side.”
