It has been confirmed that the National Human Rights Commission of Korea has launched an investigation into the allegation of conciliatory conciliation by lawmakers from the Democratic Party of Korea in the 'slaughter of a public official in the West Sea'.
Earlier, Lee Rae-jin, a survivor of a murdered public official, publicly claimed that he received consolation from Democratic Party lawmakers Hwang-hee and Kim Cheol-min to 'accept North Korea and receive compensation', and the two lawmakers objected, saying it was not true.
In relation to this, the Human Rights Commission yesterday (1st) in a written response submitted to the Office of National Strength Councilor Kim Do-eup said, "On the 29th of last month, a complaint was received by a member of the National Assembly for compensation for the bereaved family of a murdered public official. We will deal with it,” he said.
The Human Rights Commission will soon start investigating the statements of the Democratic Party lawmakers who are complaining.
According to the Human Rights Act, if the investigation results in a criminal act, it can be reported to the prosecution, and if human rights violations are recognized, disciplinary action can be recommended to the head of the affiliated institution.
It is possible to file a complaint with the prosecution or recommend disciplinary action to the Democratic Party.
When the Human Rights Commission receives a complaint, it must notify the complainant of the outcome within 90 days.
Lee Rae-jin, the older brother of the murdered public official, said at a briefing ahead of the investigation of the accuser of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office on the 29th of last month, "Immediately after the incident, lawmakers Hwang-hee and Kim Cheol-min convince them that they will compensate them if they admit North Korea." Aren't we on the same side? Think of our young nephew and convince him to admit to North Korea and be compensated."
Rep. Hwang explained, "I didn't say anything would be done if it was recognized as defecting." He explained, "I have said that the deceased can become a 'symbolic existence' that will prevent the repeating of unfortunate incidents for civilians."
Rep. Kim also explained, "It makes no sense in common sense to try to conciliate in a public place."
