<Anchor>

Reporter Kwon Ji-yoon is here.

[Reporter Kwon Ji-yoon: Yes, the government, which was launched in the name of a progressive regime, has always emphasized human rights, and President Moon Jae-in expressed his intention to abolish the death penalty during the last presidential election.

Let

's hear it for

yourself.]

[President Moon Jae-in/Democratic Party candidate at the time (2017 Presidential Candidate Invitational Debate): I think the death penalty should be abolished.

Isn't it all proven now that the death penalty has no effect on deterring violent criminals?]

[Reporter Kwon Ji-yoon: Yes, the opinions received by the Panda Team to the end are official government documents submitted to the Constitution under the name of the Minister of Justice.

According to the opinion, the death penalty has the effect of deterring violent criminals.

Eventually, they are strongly insisting on the existence of the death penalty by striking the opposite grounds of the previous presidential statement.

In particular, the word public opinion appears in various places of opinion, and public opinion over the existence of the death penalty is overwhelming.

This point is emphasized.

Former and current Justice Ministers Choo Mi-ae and Park Beom-gye even issued a bill to abolish the death penalty, but when you see these opinions come out, it seems that you are conscious of public opinion and have retreated your commitments and convictions.]

[Reporter Kwon Ji-yoon: Yes, there have been no executions since 1997, but the method and procedure of executions are stipulated in the Criminal Law, and there are more than 60 people on death row.

This means that there is no legal problem with the execution of the execution right away.

In the days of the Lee Myung-bak administration, it was known that the actual execution of the execution was considered, and there were lawmakers who asked the Minister of Justice to execute the execution in the past during the state affairs audit. This was possible because of the law.

There is a big difference between the fact that the execution of the death penalty is not carried out, and there is a death penalty system, and without it.]
