request to cancel the acquittal of the person in charge of the brotherhood support case, which was criticized for violating human rights such as imprisoning citizens in the 1970s~80s, was dismissed.
The Supreme Court admitted that the case had infringed upon human dignity, but said it was impossible to revoke the judgment under jurisdiction.

Mr. Park In-geun, the director of Brother Bok Ji-won, was handed over to trial in 1987 on charges of embezzlement and special confinement.
However, the court confirmed that Park's most important charge, the allegation of special confinement, was taken under the direction of the Ministry of Home Affairs and was not guilty.
The prosecution filed an emergency appeal asking for the innocence to be revoked, but the second Supreme Court did not accept it.
An emergency appeal is a procedure to correct when there is a violation of the law in a confirmed judgment, and the Supreme Court said it was difficult to revoke the acquittal of Director Park for special confinement charges.
The Supreme Court concluded that the direct basis for the sentence of innocence to President Park was Article 20 of the Criminal Code, rather than the former directive of the Ministry of Home Affairs, which was later confirmed as unconstitutional. .
However, the Supreme Court confirmed that the core of the case for fraternal welfare was the violation of the constitution's highest value of ‘human dignity,’ and stated that it hopes that the pain of the victims will be healed and social integration will be realized through the investigation of the truth.
[Park Joon-young/Attorney: It's so sad and sad.
It gives meaning to the Supreme Court's judgment that it wants the state to receive sufficient comfort and compensation.] When the
emergency appeal was dismissed, the courts sometimes went to the castle of the victims who rebelled.
