Which is short of manpower meant to work together to help

'ulryeok'

and

'Pumasi "

word it is often seen in a short story in the past, rural background.

In modern society, where each person has become more accustomed to finding their own way to live than to help and cooperate with each other, this word reminds us of the warm and warm heart that lies in our memory and makes us smile.

But recently, this word pops out one after another from places that don't match, making our faces frown.



● Indulgence for the abuser of depression and disability?



In the summer of 2019, a man with intellectual disabilities in his 50s had been exploited for 32 years at a temple in Nowon-gu, Seoul, and the governor, who should have protected the disabled more than anyone else, routinely assaulted the intellectually handicapped and stolen his name. The situation of real estate speculation aimed at market price margin was caught.

Citizens named'Slave in Congratulations' and'Thai Slavery Incident' according to the place of discovery about the exploitation of the disabled labor force, which has been discovered since the 2014 Shinan-gun salt farm slave incident, responded to the incident that took place at the religious institution'Inspection'. He was angry, naming it the temple slave case.



Even after confirming that the victims of the disabled in 2018, the investigative agency prosecuted only 12 assaults by the perpetrators.

The fact that 32 years of human rights violations were almost covered with penalties with a cotton bat of only 5 million won makes us as angry as the abusers act.

Since then, civic groups have requested a full re-investigation, but in February 2020, the competent police station, Nowon Police Station, decided that it could not be punished for the exploitation of labor.



Regarding the decision, the investigator in charge left these words.



"The victim claims that it is the exploitation of labor, but in the temple there is a culture of ‘wooryo’ in which monks work together to do chores, so it cannot be punished."



Fortunately, the Seoul Northern District Prosecutors' Office overturned the opinion of the police's non-prosecution in August 2020 The suspicion of exploitation of the monk's workforce was prosecuted under the Act on the Prohibition of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities and handed over to formal trial.

However, the fact that the first investigative agency covered other charges and prosecuted only the crime of assault, and the fact that it accepted the abuser's claim of'depression' even in the request for a full re-investigation is a matter that we cannot just overlook.

● Pumbai, the relationship between the abuser and the victim helping and cooperating with each other?



The case of sexual violence and labor exploitation by neighbors for 17 years of intellectually handicapped people was also known to the world in 2019.

Citizens requested a thorough investigation and strict punishment for the perpetrators to the investigative agency, but the investigative agency only handed over allegations of sexual violence to the perpetrators to trial, and gave the perpetrators indulgences for the exploitation of labor for the following reasons.



The



perpetrator denied all charges, but was handed over to the trial for the allegations of sexual assault after it was confirmed that the victim woman had severe intellectual disability and was subordinated to a man who was inflicted economically and psychologically. .

Then, shouldn't the exploitation of labor be punished?

Unlike the allegations of sexual violence, the investigative agency that investigated the case accepted the perpetrator's claim of'Pom-a-i' on the exploitation of labor force.

As a result, a very bizarre decision was born:'The perpetrators of sexual violence and the victims worked on farming with pumasi that helped and cooperated with each other'.

Nevertheless, the fact that this bizarre decision was not corrected even in the complaint proceedings leading up to the Supreme Prosecutors' Office is horrifying.



● An investigative agency that does not change even if the state is responsible for compensation...



Citizens asked these questions in the 2014 Slave Case in the

Salt Farm

in Sinan County in

Ulryeop and Pumasi Project

.



"Dozens of people with intellectual disabilities have been exploited for more than 10 years. How did the police, labor inspectors, and social welfare officials know?"



A shocking fact was revealed in the national compensation suit that started with that question.

A police officer who managed to escape from the site of the abuse and returned the disabled person who requested rescue to the abuser again, the labor inspector at the Labor Administration, who caused the victim to suffer secondary damage by sitting next to the abuser and reporting the fact of the abuse, and the exploitation of labor was confirmed. The behavior of the state system is not working properly, such as a prosecutor who simply handed over the perpetrator as a penalty for a wage delinquency case, and a social welfare official who came to the site at the report of local residents to identify the disabled and registered the disabled but left them at the site of abuse. Turned out.



However, the investigative agency did not have any apology for the disabled after losing in the national compensation lawsuit, and did not come up with any measures to prevent recurrence.

Rather, it shows only the disappointing appearance of accepting the absurd claims of the perpetrators of'depression and pumasi'.

In April 2020, a group of legal representatives for national compensation lawsuits united again in April 2020, not seeing that the meaning of the difficultly received judgment on prevailing national compensation has faded.



●'Ulpower and Pumasi Project'…

It dreams of a new investigation structure beyond the improvement of existing investigation agencies.



A briefing session was held by the National Assembly, the Korean Bar Association, and civic groups, where 13 public interest attorneys and 2 disabled rights activists conducted an in-depth analysis of 10 cases of exploitation of disabled workers for 8 months, and announced problems identified and improvement measures as alternatives. Sun) 2:00 p.m.

The results of this project should be taken seriously by the Prosecutors' Office, the National Police Agency, the Labor Administration, and other investigative agencies that are investigating related cases.



The attitude that the existing investigative agencies have shown about the abuse of children revealed through the recent case by Jung In is also disappointing.

How about imagining the birth of a new investigative agency for the socially underprivileged, such as children and the disabled, beyond the improvement of the wrong practices of existing investigative agencies?

If a high-ranking public officials criminal investigation center dedicated to criminal investigations and prosecutions of high-ranking officials that are not directly related to the lives of citizens has been established, wouldn't it be necessary to establish an investigation office that specializes in investigating crimes of abuse against the socially disadvantaged such as children and the disabled?
