Regarding the approval of the 8·15 Gwanghwamun assembly, the Commissioner of Court Administration Cho Jae-yeon said, "I think it was a decision made by the court after serious consideration in the value of conflict between the basic rights of the people of freedom of assembly and the need for quarantine measures."



Deputy Minister Cho responded to the comments of Democratic Party lawmaker Hae-Ryeon Paik at the Special Committee on Budget and Accounting of the National Assembly today (1st), saying, "There were more than 270,000 petitions for the Blue House requesting the dismissal of judges in charge due to the re-proliferation of Corona 19."




Then, when Rep. Paik said, "The biggest issue is the judgment of the public's safety and the risk of spreading infectious diseases," he said that the judges had to have a procedure to listen to the opinions of experts. "I agree with the point that the opinions of experts should be respected as much as possible. , The suspension of execution came in on August 13th, and it was difficult in time because both the newspaper and the decision were made the next day."



However, he admitted that "in the future case, etc., it is necessary to listen to the opinions of experts even more", and "The decision to cite some of the assemblies resulted in a larger assembly than expected, and the court also criticized and criticized the situation. I am heavily aware of it,” he said.




Earlier, the Seoul Administrative Court cited a partial request for suspension of execution of an executive order issued by the Taegeukgi Revolutionary National Movement Headquarters against the Seoul Metropolitan City on the 14th of last month, and all applications for suspension of execution issued by the conservative group'Ilpamanpa' were cited. “If the quarantine rules are followed, there is no clear evidence to support the possibility of a large-scale spread of infection through outdoor assembly,” the court explained.



However, contrary to the court's judgment, a rally was held with 5,000 or more crowds rather than 100, and the outbreak spread throughout the country, centering on the metropolitan area. As a result, public opinion condemning the court's irresponsible decision was created, and a petition for the Blue House national petition to dismiss the court was registered, exceeding the official response baseline in a short time.
