🆘 표적 구속! 인권 침해! 세종호텔 고진수 지부장 무기한 옥중단식 시민사회단체 긴급기자회견

Added: 2026-06-01

[00:00:00]Define.

[00:00:11]These people from Jeolla are playing like that, but it seems like it will start unfairly. Today marks the 7th day since the detained worker began a hunger strike, as not only was he detained, but he was also unjustly subjected to human rights abuses. We intend to hold a press conference to address this situation and demand the restoration of human rights and the prompt release of the workers. yes. I would appreciate your cooperation from those around you.

[00:00:50]yes. I would like to ask the intelligence officer to please manage the surroundings so that the press conference proceeds smoothly.

[00:01:08]Yesterday, we learned that Branch Manager Ko Jin-soo, who is imprisoned in this Southern Detention Center, is staging a hunger strike, and that it was already the sixth day.

[00:01:22]Nambukso did not convey to the reporter that the swimmer was on a hunger strike. There are two reasons why Branch Manager Ko Jin-su went on a hunger strike.

[00:01:40]Everyone has likely seen the letter from Chief of Staff Go Jin-su, but the first point is that handcuffs were continuously used on Branch Manager Go Jun-su, who went to participate in the mobile phone forensic seizure on May 22nd, and despite his request to have them removed, handcuffs are mandatory once he goes outside Guchudo.

[00:02:06]Neutralization of on-site verification must comply with the rules. He is still being transported.

[00:02:13]Stories like these have increased.

[00:02:17]But there is no such thing anywhere. Just punish the inmates for the anti-human rights and illegal cancellation of the North and South by these prison guards. There is only their perception that they treat you like a criminal.

[00:02:40]Additionally, the defense attorney protested that participation in the Koren-sik was impossible and, as he left, requested a meeting with Department Head Go Jin-suji.

[00:02:58]What do you think the answer was all this time?

[00:03:02]No visitation was requested in advance.

[00:03:11]Since no one has a red flag application form right now, it is impossible to apply on the spot.

[00:03:17]So, it is said that they replied that it is not possible because they could not even accept the application during that time.

[00:03:30]Which country and which law is this logic based on? I'm just saying it won't work.

[00:03:45]District Director Go Jin-sook's human rights dementia, where even the right to access variables is being treated in such a way.

[00:03:50]This is the first reason why the branch manager went on a hunger strike.

[00:03:56]Secondly, it is to protest the absurd confinement itself. He was arrested and detained on April 17 for being present at the site after showing solidarity with the struggle of the Imperial Teachers on April 15. The Yongsan Police Station, which brought in and merged even previously dismissed cases to target and arrest Comrade Goju and requested a warrant, and the Seoul Western District Court, which accepted that request and applied to the court for a warrant, and the Seoul District Court, which issued the warrant on the grounds that there was a risk of escape— ah, the Seoul Western District Court—had not even finished clarifying the matter, but they aggressively arrested and indicted him ahead of the first arrest period, thus making it impossible to even conduct a detention review.

[00:05:08]How about the Western method?

[00:05:10]We filed a request for cancellation of detention on May 7. Since no arrests were made this month, we also submitted an opinion statement regarding the application for cancellation on May 13. However, on May 22, the request for cancellation of detention was dismissed without even opening the case.

[00:05:42]I receive the dismissal decision today. It is one line.

[00:05:48]The request to cancel the order of 179 people is dismissed. Lee Jeong 17 The reason is that, according to the Constitution, there is no need for cancellation of arrest. The attitude of the court and the prosecution, which are holding individuals in custody, in responding to the demand to guarantee their personal liberty and freedom of the body is truly pathetic. Branch Manager Go Jeon-su began a hunger strike in protest of such support from the Sabu and Seobu branches, and today marks the seventh day.

[00:06:32]So, having learned about the hunger strike yesterday, we urgently organized a joint press conference with civil society groups, and we are about to begin it. We will now begin the emergency press conference of the Civil Society Medical Association on the 7th day of the indefinite detention, human rights, dementia, Sejo Hotel, Branch Manager Go Jin-su, Ok-jun, and party service.

[00:06:59]yes. I am Lee Cheong-woo, Co-Executive Chairman of the Joint Countermeasures Committee for the Withdrawal of the Sejong Hotel Closure. I will be hosting this event.

[00:07:06]First, I will read the statement sent by Branch Manager Go Jin-ji-sul as he began his hunger strike. It is attached to the press release with a photo at the back, but yes, yes, I didn't mention this in advance. yes. I would like Comrade Choi Hyun-han, the re-chairman of the Otica High-Tech Branch, to read it on my behalf.

[00:07:36]Provincial Statement on the Incarceration of District Head Go Jin-su: We will begin an indefinite hunger strike starting at 12:00 PM on May 22nd. There are two requirements. 1. The North and South Detention Centers request that handcuffs and badges be removed during prosecution or police investigations, based on the presumption of innocence. 1. We request that the Western District Court cancel the detention and grant special release so that the defendant may stand trial with their right to defense guaranteed. I am not afraid of unjust accusations, unjust judgments, unjust arrests, unjust investigations, unjust charges, unjust prosecutions, unjust trials, unjust detentions, and the denial of human and labor rights; however, when the reasons for such actions are ambiguous, I cannot help but feel resentful and indignant. I have been fighting for five years to regain my labor rights after being deprived of them due to unfair regularity. I have spent 40 days in unjust detention, unable to guarantee my right to defense and having my human rights denied. I cannot help but feel outraged once again that activities to reclaim administrative and labor rights were erased under the charge of "killing and killing," and that I was arrested for the hellish reason of fear of fraud. Boju will confidently stand trial ten or a hundred times and speak of a just struggle. I will continue my hunger strike until I am observed, demanding my release so that I can stand trial under conditions where my right to defense is fully guaranteed. In the Southern Rule of May 22, 1926, we will shout a slogan to signify our burning protest and resolution together with Comrades Bohojin, Suye, and Gojuso. Catch Jo Gu-sok! Catch him! Gu Jun-su is innocent. Release Gu Jun-su!

[00:10:12]Release him! Release him!

[00:10:16]Yes, let's listen to the next statement.

[00:10:29]There is a lawyer who was present at the place where the illegal handcuffs were placed on May 22nd, which violated human rights and was unlawful. A representative team has been formed to resolve the Sejong Hotel issue.

[00:10:38]Attorney Hwang Ho-jun, who is also participating in that matter, was requested to draft a statement regarding the situation on that day and the conduct of the Nammu Detention Center. He has sent the statement in response. However, since the press conference is being held so urgently, they are unable to attend in person, so I have to read it out for them.

[00:11:02]Yes, um, could Comrade Song Hye-won do this for us? Yes, yes. I will now read aloud the statement by Attorney Hwang Ho-jeon, who participated in the May 20th F-Forensic. We lodge a strong protest with the Director of Seoul Nammu Detention Center.

[00:11:24]Branch Manager Ko Jin-soo and I arrived at the scene to participate in the Digital Fran-Sik procedure held at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency on May 22, 2026.

[00:11:34]However, we were unable to participate in that procedure. This is because the correctional officers at the detention center did not release restraints such as handcuffs without any convincing explanation or clear grounds. Department Head Go Jin-suji and I did not go there to be mere bystanders in the search and seizure procedure. Search and seizure is a coercive measure, and the participation of the party and their counsel in the process is not merely a decorative element but the ultimate safeguard for protecting procedural legitimacy and the reliability of evidence.

[00:12:08]However, the correctional officers' failure to keep the protection ledger physically neutralized the safeguard of exercising the right to participate.

[00:12:15]Department Head Jin-su Ji Go and I have never given up on participating. It is extremely unfair to try to shift the blame for our inability to participate onto us when we were prevented from doing so in the first place. I requested the removal of handcuffs, etc. from the correctional officers at the scene, citing Articles 97 and 99 of the Act on the Execution of Sentences and Treatment of Prisoners.

[00:12:38]Nevertheless, the prison guards kept repeating nonsensical stories such as the mandatory wearing of handcuffs when going out and the on-site verification guidelines, and that they were still in transport, but ultimately failed to present which regulation or clause applies to this situation and why. The defense attorney continued at the scene and instructed us to refer to Article 39, but that provision was treated as confidential in the publicly available materials, making it difficult to even verify.

[00:13:08]What is even more absurd about the basis for the restriction of rights is that the investigators at the Yongsan Police Station stated that the right to apply could be exercised at any time, even while under protective custody such as handcuffs. The investigators stated that today they would only perform sealing and image work and conduct electronic information search and selection separately, and although they clearly notified that they would only proceed with simple sealing and image processing, they informed us that if we withdraw due to the inability to exercise the right to process, it would be considered withdrawal without just cause, and they could proceed with the procedure.

[00:13:45]However, the Yongsan Police Station investigator's story is completely wrong. The argument that it is acceptable because it is merely a procedural matter clearly reveals the investigator's unreasonable disregard for the principle of due process. From the moment the seal is lifted until the moment the seizure procedure is concluded, the right of the victim and their counsel to participate must be fully guaranteed throughout all proceedings to ensure there is no deficiency in the exercise of their right to defense.

[00:14:14]However, the investigator at the Yongsan Police Station ultimately carried out the sealing and image removal, as if believing that merely providing prior notice guarantees legality. I cannot help but lament the sight of the Yongsan Police Station, which has failed to even acknowledge its own shortcomings, continuing to forcefully exercise its unreasonable authority.

[00:14:38]I hereby strongly demand the following from the Director of the Seoul North-South Detention Center.

[00:14:44]First, immediately investigate the number of correctional officers present at the scene at the time regarding the basis for the application of the non-release order and the guidelines for the judgment thereon, and provide an official and responsible response.

[00:14:55]Second, transparently disclose the regulations and application standards presented as the grounds for restricting rights, such as guidelines regarding accommodation management and development affairs, and institutionally guarantee that at least the parties involved and their legal counsel can verify them. To prevent the neutralization of participation rights following physical constraints, reorganize the principles and exceptions regarding the use of government-protected fee schedules, and immediately cease the practice of arbitrarily applying them in the field as if they were the rules.

[00:15:37]Establish a consultation system with investigative agencies to prevent the unsealing of electronic information and the screening of images in this state, and present measures to prevent recurrence in writing.

[00:15:43]I will not reduce this problem to a personal inconvenience. This is not a matter of the detention center's opening of the post, but a matter of fundamental rights and due process. If the right to participate can be crushed with a single pair of handcuffs, we do not know whose rights might be violated in the same way tomorrow. The Director of Seoul Southern Detention Center must stop remaining silent and respond responsibly. That's all. yes. It seems you were even more enraged because you wrote about that experience so vividly. I will shout out to the director of the Southern Detention Center once again.

[00:16:21]Tribe, detention, human rights, dementia, Director Namuguchi, apologize, apologize, apologize, apologize.

[00:16:30]Three, legal class usage, Director Namuguchi, apologize, apologize, think, think.

[00:16:40]Yes, it is the middle of summer now. Ah, already... prison... yes, it must already be the middle of summer. It is the 7th day, so I am very worried about his health. We will now hear remarks from Comrade Jeon Jin-han of the Council of Doctors for Humanitarian Practice. We will stay with you until the end. Mr. President of the North, it is our job to say that people on hunger strikes are always in danger, and of course, that is true.

[00:17:20]However, I would like to emphasize once again today that fasting on only water, like Branch Manager Go Jin-sook did, is truly dangerous.

[00:17:32]We see cases where people fast for tens of days, but that basically corresponds to a fast in which both salt and enzymes are consumed.

[00:17:41]Of course, fortunately, Branch Manager Go Jin-su says that he is currently consuming salt.

[00:17:45]However, unlike the general belief that salt with the brine removed is safe because it avoids gastrointestinal irritation, we are consuming regular salt, and above all, we are not consuming any enzymes at all. Even if Branch Manager Go Jin-soo’s fasting, consisting only of water, lasts for just a week, he is already in a very dangerous medical state. This is because protein breakdown is occurring, which could be affecting not only the attack but also the heart and various organs.

[00:18:18]In particular, Branch Manager Go Jin-soo did not start this fast in normal physical condition. This is because it has only been four months since the harsh high-concentration training that had been going on for nearly a year was stopped, and when I should have been recovering, I had no choice but to continue fighting and was also detained several times. Even during the sit-in protest, he suffered from shingles and facial nerve paralysis, and his weakened immune system is so severe that he is said to still be suffering from the aftereffects. Furthermore, because he also has high blood pressure, I believe that although he may not look fine on the outside, he is in a situation where, quite literally, one cannot guarantee when something might happen. Therefore, correctional authorities and the government must take immediate and responsible action. We make it clear that if this is not done, the relevant countries will bear full responsibility for any consequences that may arise thereafter.

[00:19:15]I served as the head of the Kojin branch, and although it has been quite a while since I met him in person, I remember him as someone with a firm resolve to fight to the end without losing his health. However, just how humiliating must the situation have been for them to choose such an extreme form of struggle?

[00:19:37]Branch Manager Ko Jin-soo has fought openly to the extent that he was the destination of the wave of street movements that brought about the birth of the current Lee Jae-myung government, and he was also a symbol of the struggle for democracy. And this is a person who is fighting very confidently against the unfair dismissal at Sejong Hotel. Therefore, I believe that having to run for office to save him, and then being unjustly handcuffed in the detention center, must have been a truly unspeakable indignation for him.

[00:20:13]I urge the Ministry of Justice and correctional authorities under the Lee Jae-myung administration to stop this illegal, inhumane, and despicable labor suppression, and to cease the acts that threaten the life of Branch Manager Bo Jin-soo. We urge you to immediately accept Branch Manager Go Jin-so's demands. yes. This is Dr. Jeon Dong-ji. So, he went up to the Gogonghoe barn and provided medical treatment, and he is currently very worried about Comrade Go Jin-su's condition. Before holding the press conference today, I requested a meeting with the Southern Cancellation Committee.

[00:20:46]Uh, I would like to officially reiterate that you must convey Nambu Vegetable's response to that request for a meeting before this press conference ends. I will say this once again. After this press conference, please bring a response confirming "Yes" regarding the request for a meeting with the Southern Branch. I will accurately verify the human rights situation regarding dementia and confirm the position of the Southern District Office. I will check Comrade Gu Jun-su's health condition second and convey the requirements to the doctor. We would like to hold a meeting with the North and South Jiseok Dental Clinic for this purpose.

[00:21:28]Please provide a response before the press conference ends. yes. Let's shout out a slogan.

[00:21:37]Gu Jin-su is innocent. Release Bu Jin-su. Release him! Release him!

[00:21:46]Yes, let's listen to the next one.

[00:21:56]yes. The following statement is. Ms. Hana Su- rin of the JPIC Subcommittee of the Council of Superiors of Women's Religious Orders, could you please share your thoughts on attending today's press conference? Hello.

[00:22:22]I am Kim because you are so great. As I became closely involved with the Sejong Hotel incident, I learned that the situation had been resolved and the recovery had been restored. Also, I recently learned that he is on a hunger strike. As you have been saying all along, I am speaking on behalf of the monks in this injustice. Please release him immediately at the Southern Military District Office.

[00:23:09]The union member at Taejongdae is saying to handle it, handle it, handle it. Yes, thank you.

[00:23:22]Yes, I do not know how many workers, citizens, and people from all walks of life supported the Sejong Hotae regular struggle and Branch Manager Go Jin-seo's 336-day high-altitude struggle. amen.

[00:23:36]As Comrade Jeon Jin-hwan mentioned earlier, after concluding the rallies of workers and citizens fighting against this civil unrest, tens of thousands of people have been marching toward Department Head Go Jin-suji every week.

[00:23:51]He has now come down from the prison after 336 days and is locked up in a real prison. I suspect he went on a hunger strike to relieve, even just a little, the pain and humiliation of being detained on charges of trespassing through this struggle.

[00:24:18]We are not demanding that the hunger strike be stopped now.

[00:24:27]Fight with all your might.

[00:24:28]Outside, we will fight with the fish outside. But we have to fight while alive. yes. I hope we can fight together like that. The following statement is an example. Activist Young-sook Sang of the Human Rights Network Baram has delivered the remarks regarding the Seo Motel College. yes. hello. This is Myeong-suk, Standing Director of the Human Rights Movement Network Bara. I saved Comrade Go Jin-su this morning. I informed you about the situation at the time and that we are holding a press conference today.

[00:25:10]As the lawyer mentioned earlier, he was handcuffed, and it is said that he was not only handcuffed when he arrived. It is said that he was already in a state of trauma from being bound from the shoulders down, and that he claimed even the handcuffs could not be removed, and that the restraint ropes would not come undone either. I was so angry that I protested with a lawyer, but they said they have no authority. It is said that the prosecutors claimed there was no wrongdoing on the part of the Ministry of Justice, and made absurd claims about the escort process, such as saying it was a rule. However, as we heard earlier in the statement by Attorney Hwang Woo-jin, there are no legal standards. As you know, in 2005, the Constitutional Court also had a precedent regarding rules concerning police handcuffs or restraints, which are referred to as such security measures. That precedent has already taken issue with the excessive violation of the constitutional principle of prohibition of excessive burden. However, I did it regardless of that. In 2005, the Constitution stated the following. The use of restraints, such as handcuffs, should not be automatically permitted merely because the suspect is in custody. It was stated in 2005 that use should be restricted in cases where there is no risk of escape, assault, lust, or self-harm. In addition, Human Rights has repeatedly announced that proposals should be submitted regarding cases of human rights violations caused by the misuse of handcuffs or restraints in prisons and detention centers every year from 2017 to 2025.

[00:26:47]According to the 2020 announcement, this team was modified in 2021.

[00:26:56]It is the so-called photo line where protective gear is visible. Making sure it isn't used in court. That is the only thing that was revised. However, regardless of the remaining revisions, the detention center and correctional officers are using it as they please. In particular, unlike prisons, detention centers simply conduct trials while detained, rather than trials without detention, during the current principle of no-detention struggle. They are unjustly arresting me on the grounds of destroying evidence and attempting to flee, even though in reality there was no destruction of evidence and no attempt to flee. Giving protective gear to such a person is, in itself, an act of torture. This is close to an act of torture under the Convention Against Excessive Torture, to which Korea is also a signatory. As you know, not long ago, we are all aware of the illegal abduction of Palestinians traveling by boat to Gaza by Israel, the assaults which were virtually death-defying, and the act of burying their hands behind their backs, and the whole world is outraged. The principle of innocence is not being upheld at all. The Constitutional Court does not guarantee the freedom of the body and the right to personality guaranteed by the Constitution.

[00:28:10]That is why it is very serious.

[00:28:12]I think this is more serious because it is the Lee Jae-myung administration.

[00:28:22]In fact, after the Lee Jae-myung administration took office in 2008, prison human rights became very active again. Because I have been involved in human rights activism for a long time, I have done a great deal of work related to prison rights and pizza rights. They said that the atmosphere in the prison changed because the government changed to a conservative administration. In the prison, you can lie down in your room as you please, and if you want to watch TV, you can watch TV. However, it is said that during the Lee Myung-bak administration, Taoist priests ordered people to sit in a proper posture, whether in the evening or during the day. However, although police human rights and prison human rights seemed to improve slightly in 2017 during the Moon Jae-in administration, it was the Moon Jae-in and Lee Jae-myung administrations that suppressed the freedom of all citizens again, using COVID-19 as an excuse and the police to crack down on everyone, as if to say, "We're all going to crack down." Lee Jae-myung talks about respecting labor, but a worker is unjustly detained, and even during transport—which is guaranteed by human rights, the Constitution, rulings, and precedents—there is no medical protection against escape. Furthermore, restraints and handcuffs are applied to a person who has no evidence or medical protection, and moreover, this was not for the investigation of the National Police Agency.

[00:29:37]Where are you running away to inside the police station? You can't run away. I went to the police station to perform mobile phone forensics. However, refusing to let it go is an act of insult, an act of aggression, and cruelty. It is human rights dementia.

[00:29:50]So, I have no choice but to go on a hunger strike.

[00:29:52]But under the Lee Jae-myung administration, is this the existence of labor?

[00:29:56]Why are you treating workers so harshly?

[00:29:59]Would they have done this to Yoon Seong-yeol? Would they have done this to Kim Kun-hee?

[00:30:02]Would they have done this to the chaebols?

[00:30:05]Would they have done this to politics? no. This is because I am a union official engaged in union activities to defend it. The fact that such insulting things could be done is now a signal from the government. Do n't do this. For workers, even if they did not receive a trial without detention, there is the possibility of going to a trial with detention. The correctional authorities will issue guidelines for this, and you can just make a mistake.

[00:30:36]Because they were not doing so, and because they acted as they pleased, just like during the Yoon Seong-yeol administration when they were cracking down on workers, they were handcuffed with the utmost force during the Force Prosecutor's Office. The Lee Jae-myung administration speaks well. However, please come down to reality. If you come down to the ground, is the labor really heavy? Are you investigating civil liberties? no.

[00:31:01]We also have something called the pizza detention principle.

[00:31:06]You know how to make breath, right? In the subject, it states that when Elsende fought in prison for the liberation of African people and the abolition of discrimination and apartheid, one should not be treated arbitrarily or pressured in that manner.

[00:31:25]Even so, we are doing this.

[00:31:28]I fully understand Comrade Ko Jin-soo's anger. He went on a hunger strike because he was angry. Ah, as I mentioned earlier, fasting in prison is extremely dangerous. I met them today, and uh, I told them with a smile that I was fine, just like always, so they wouldn't worry. He smiled very brightly. But they said their stomach hurt a little. Since I haven't eaten anything, my stomach hurts a bit, maybe because my intestines are twisted. It seems like some work needs to be done to block it.

[00:31:56]We had a conversation about this. I will also discuss that during my meeting with the Guji Police Station Chief today. Measures must be taken for the author. Of course, I do not think that this will necessarily lead to direct actions of the cloning regime, such as forced feeding, but I think measures should be taken to ensure that at least a hunger strike can be carried out in a way that properly reflects his will.

[00:32:19]And as I mentioned earlier, yesterday I did n't contact my lawyer, nor my family or spouse. I called my spouse yesterday. Actually, for one reason or another, I went on a hunger strike. It makes no sense to call them handcuffs. I was so surprised. So, protesting that, I went on a hunger strike starting at 12 o'clock, but that was all I found out about late. sorry. When I told her this, my wife was very worried. She said that I am taking blood pressure medication, and that she had previously experienced a medical emergency and also had herpes zoster when I was in the public sector, so she is concerned. They said something like this. So, we will explain it properly. And if we fight well, the fasting will only go as far as we fight well, so do n't worry too much. I feel very embarrassed and sorry for saying this. I cannot help but ask the Lee Jae-myung administration whether citizens, upon seeing this, will call it respect for labor or say that human rights and democracy are being guaranteed. Although it will be confiscated, Comrade Ko Jin-soo has become a symbol of democracy and humanism.

[00:33:18]In the petition calling for Yoon Seong-yeol's resignation, many citizens supported the idea that a country where labor is respected and labor rights are guaranteed is a democracy. This is the reason I came to Bogong.

[00:33:29]Now, let's take another look at the attitudes taken by the correctional authorities, the Ministry of Justice and the Prosecution Service, and the Yongsan Police Station.

[00:33:36]We will also join that struggle. thank you This trial is taking place amidst the wave of events. yes. Next, the Sejong Branch has been fighting together for five years for the reinstatement of Comrade Go Jin-su and the workers of Jeongri High School. I will now speak with Comrade Kim Nan-hee, a member of the Sejong Hotel branch. I am Kim Nam, a member of the Sejong branch who retired in December 2021 and has been serving as a chief for five years, just like Lee Jae-eun, the clown announcement Lee Jae-eun. I love it. It is devastating. I wonder if the struggle for the reinstatement of the expelled workers really needs to go this far.

[00:34:30]How can you say that we are being detained again when it has only been a few days since the 336-day sit-in ended? I want to vent my anger—to an extent that cannot be expressed in any words—on those who not only arrested me but also forced me to go on a hunger strike in prison. For what reason would Go Jin-su run away? Why are you trying to stifle our voices? Why are you so harsh to us who expose injustice to the world? Is there not a single judge in the law who would listen to the grievances of workers? Haven't you all experienced being treated unfairly at least once?

[00:35:08]Comrade Ko Jin-su says today is the seventh day of his hunger strike in prison, but why did we only find out after six days? Do human rights exist? I cannot help but be outraged at this government that oppresses workers with a legal system more detailed than any other, driving them to the brink of death.

[00:35:33]Hand over our comrade Go Jin-seo. Even if we don't know what kind of world you want, we will never give up and will fight. Even if Jin-su returns to our side and goes through the same thing again, we will protect him, and even if oppression is compounded, we will not stop our steps toward a better world.

[00:35:56]Thank you to the comrades who came to the Kimgeumjocheong. Our struggle is the pursuit of righteousness and justice. Please stay with us until the end. Thank you.

[00:36:10]For the sake of the shareholders, officials, and the people, I have tailored my prepared remarks to this.

[00:36:20]Finally, we will read aloud the statement released yesterday by the Sejong Hotel Group and the College of Engineering. If you look at page 3 of the materials for today's emergency press conference, 166 fishing organizations and labor unions participated.

[00:36:40]In a short period of time, we received participation from a great number of units and from all walks of life engaged in various activities. I will replace the list with the data. I believe this demonstrates how much the social issue of the Nambu Office's human rights violations and the current detention are unjust, and that there is a social demand for Branch Manager Jo Ji-soo's demands to be accepted as soon as possible, arguing that this dangerous situation cannot be allowed to continue any longer. The Southern Branch Office will clearly need to confirm this. yes.

[00:37:27]Finally, I will read the statement from Sejong Motel District and the public guest.

[00:37:34]Comrade Han Min-i and our Pastor Choi, could you please read this aloud? Come to the center and join us in the Lee Jae-dong board.

[00:38:14]Branch Manager Do Jin-su, who is indefinitely imprisoned for the sake of Lee Myeong-gi, began an indefinite hunger strike at 12:00 on May 22. There are two requirements. Just as the South will release suspects during prosecution or police investigations, the West District Court will allow them to stand trial while not in custody, thereby enabling the court to exercise its authority to release them. On May 22, Sejong Hotel Branch Manager Ko Jin-soo was transferred to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency to participate in the investigation of the mobile phone at Yongsan Police Station. Also present at the meeting were the defense attorneys representing District Chief Ko Jin-soo and the legal team working to resolve the issue of the change. Branch Manager Do Jin-su and his attorney requested that the handcuffs be removed to participate in the forensic analysis. However, the prison guard at Manbu Detention Center refused. He only repeated that he was still in a dazed state or that handcuffs were mandatory when moving outside the detention center.

[00:39:22]Article 97 of the Act on the Execution of Sentences and the Subsequent Care of Prisoners stipulates that handcuffs may be used when escorting a prisoner to a different courtroom or other outside locations during correctional proceedings, and Article 99 prohibiting the abuse of handcuffs stipulates that use must be stopped without delay once the cause for such abuse ceases.

[00:39:44]Branch Manager Su had already arrived at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Digital Forensics Division, the location for the forensics, and was about to participate in the mobile phone forensics process, which was part of the police investigation. It was not a situation where they could challenge, nor was it a situation where they could interfere with the execution of the military command. The reason for using the equipment had disappeared, and although Branch Manager Do Jin-su and his lawyer requested that the handcuffs be removed, the Nambuk Detention Center guards did not remove the handcuffs. Eventually, Branch Manager Go Jin-su and his lawyer revealed that they were unable to perform the Changnyeok-gwon technique, protested to the investigators of Beomsan Police Station and the correctional officers of Namboguchi Station, and left. And they began a hunger strike to protest the illegal and arbitrary handcuffs at the North and South Detention Centers.

[00:40:35]Branch Manager Ko Jin-soo has been fighting for the welfare of Sejong Hotae for five years. They staged a high-altitude sit-in for 1,146 days, demanding the lifting of emergency measures at workplaces and the reinstatement of dismissed workers. The district chief was taken into custody while standing in solidarity with Jihyebeop Dosa, a public interest whistleblower fighting for the proper resolution and unfair dismissal of the A School sexual violence case.

[00:41:06]Yongsan Police Station requested an arrest warrant by consolidating the case of Sejo Hotae, who was arrested on February 2nd and whose request for a high-speed arrest warrant had already been dismissed on the grounds that there was no risk of escape, and the Seoul District Court issued the warrant on the grounds that there was no risk of escape.

[00:41:29]For a worker fighting to return to work, the fear of running away is, in itself, an insult.

[00:41:36]What about the prosecution and the courts? The Seoul District Court formally indicted the suspect on April 28, just before the end of the first detention period, even before conducting mobile phone forensics, and deprived the suspect of the opportunity to verify the legality of the detention through the detention review.

[00:41:59]Accordingly, District Chief Go Jin-su and his attorney applied to the court for the cancellation of the detention, but the Seoul District Court dismissed the request for detention on May 22 without even holding a trial.

[00:42:18]Yongsan Police Station, the Western Police Department, the Seoul Western District Court, and the Southern Detention Center all drove Branch Manager Ko Jin-soo into an indefinite hunger strike.

[00:42:30]Those responsible for creating this situation are the ones in charge.

[00:42:34]As of May 27 and May 28, the hunger strike is ongoing.

[00:42:44]Fasting during the war is more dangerous because one cannot properly manage their health.

[00:42:51]Accept Branch Manager Bo Jin-su's demands as soon as possible. The Southern Detention Center must apologize for the illegal and inhumane handcuffs and promise to prevent property damage. The Western District Court and the Western District Court must immediately release Branch Manager Bo Jin-soo so that he can stand trial while not in custody.

[00:43:13]Lee Jae-myung trial, Lee Jae-myung trial, as requested by the branch head, the inter-Korean reunion must be canceled immediately. And regarding the support for Seoul West, this dementia must be stopped, targeted arrests must be halted, and Go Jin-seo must be released. yes. Finally, let's all try rolling it together. The Director of the Southern Regional Office, who is a thief and human rights dementia, should think.

[00:43:49]Think. Think. Think.

[00:43:54]Gu Jin-seo is innocent. Release Gu Jin-seo.

[00:43:59]Release them. Release them. Release them.

[00:44:03]yes. The deputy office says they will hold an interview.

[00:44:10]I think we'll only know who will show up once we go in. Okay, first I will go in, deliver our request, accurately check the health condition of the rescue worker, and then come out.

[00:44:21]Comrade Jeon Jae, let's go together. yes.

[00:44:23]Jeon Dong-ji, our cooperative movement leader, and the three of us have decided to go in. I'll take the part. We will now wrap up the press conference. I am sorry that I could not greet each and every one of the comrades who came from afar. Thank you so much. We are planning to hold an emergency cultural event here at 6:30 this evening.
