A series of reports on the massacre of civilians during the Korean War, today (26th), discusses the issue of compensation and compensation for victims. In the case of the press federation case we are delivering, there is no special law for compensation and compensation, so the survivors have to sue each other against the country.

First, reporter Jeong Hye-kyung will deliver.

<Reporter> Kim

Ga-joo, who was recognized as a victim of the press federation case by the 2009 Reconciliation Committee.

Following Kim's son, who died three months ago, even a grandson is preparing a lawsuit against the country.


In a lawsuit filed by his father five years ago, the Supreme Court dismissed the claim because of the expiration of the statute of limitations in the civil law, saying, "I learned that I was a victim and did not file a claim within three years."

However, when the Supreme Court recently changed the precedent on the expiration of prescriptions in the lawsuits against victims of the Ulsan Press Federation, Mr. Kim again filed a lawsuit.

According to the statistics obtained by SBS, claims of damages by civilians who were recognized before and after the June 25th, among the total of 16,000572 Only 6,591 survivors filed for compensation.

Of these, 926 were dismissed, many of which were'lack of evidence' or'extinction of prescription'.

In addition, the amount of compensation for the 5,665 people for whom claims were accepted differed according to the court.

As a result, there were cases in which the state filed a lawsuit against the survivors to return some of the criminal reparations, and even for the first time as a civilian victim, one of the survivors' families who were convicted of retrial was sentenced to foreclosure.

It is one of the tasks to be solved by the establishment of an equitable reparation standard for national violence and the new 2nd Truth Reconciliation Committee.
