There's a series of terrorist threats, but...I don't know if there's a strong punishment.

Amid the recent attack on a female student in Suncheon, civil unrest is growing as a series of terrorist notices have appeared against an unspecified number of people.

There is a demand that there should be strict punishment as it causes the administrative power to be wasted.

To this end, it seems urgent to supplement the legal system.

'23 at 6 p.m., I will wield a weapon at Yatap Station.'

Last month, threats posted on the Internet made citizens nervous.

[Kim Young-hoon / Yatap-dong, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do: My wife was surprised by the news article, and my mother told her daughter, 'Be careful. There is anxiety and fear that "my mom will pick me up" (such as asking)

What was feared did not happen, but more than a hundred police officers were deployed and armored vehicles were mobilized.

This is the area around Yatap Station, which was pointed out as the place of the stabbings. Fifteen days after the post was posted, special police patrols continue.

A few days later, an Internet post was posted saying that he would wield a weapon in the academy district in Gangnam, Seoul,
The
police even called to say they installed explosives in Seoul Children's Grand Park.

As civil unrest has led to a waste of security power, public opinion is raging to punish threats against an unspecified number of people.

[Kim Hyun-hee / Nursery teacher near Yatap Station: I am very angry that children who are growing up with irresponsible behaviors live without feeling secure....]

However, according to the current law, the problem is that if the target is not specified, the crime of intimidation is not established.

For this reason, it is pointed out that the crime of obstructing the execution of hierarchical public affairs is applied only to the abuse of public power, but it is a problem because it is often sentenced to probation.

[Kwak Jun-ho / Lawyer: Previously, there could not be threats made by an unspecified number of people for the crime of intimidation. Now, it is possible to threaten an unspecified number of people on the Internet. As a result, there are deficiencies or loopholes in the law in this area.]

As murder cases or crime notices targeting an unspecified number of people, including the murder of Sillim Station last year, have already become a problem,

The 21st National Assembly pushed for a 'new crime of public intimidation' but it was abandoned due to the expiration of the session.

As such intimidation crimes have recently increased again, there is a growing demand for politicians to pay attention.
