While the Ministry of Justice released the results of a fact-finding investigation and solutions to the allegations that foreigners imprisoned in the Hwaseong Detention Center were subjected to harsh acts such as 'breaking shrimp', human rights groups expressed regret over the investigation process and urged the inmates to be lifted.
The 'Committee for Response to Torture in the Foreigner Detention Center' issued a statement today (1st) and said, "It is welcome that he officially admitted the fact of human rights violations, though belatedly." It is questionable whether the truth of 'breaking the shrimp' is a sufficient investigation because of the lack of announcements."
In addition, they demanded that the victim's protection be immediately lifted and treated, saying, "Fundamental and specific countermeasures are needed", while the Ministry of Justice released past videos of inmates unrelated to the recent incident, claiming that their personality and reputation were damaged. Prevention measures were also called for.
