Chairman Woo said, "I'm sorry about the injury to the Assemblyman..."The police can't overreact".

National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik expressed strong regret as the National Assembly speaker representing the National Assembly over the injury of Han Chang-min of the Social Democratic Party in a clash with the police at a rally in downtown Seoul on the 9th.

Chairman Woo told the plenary session of the National Assembly that an unsavory incident occurred in which a South Korean lawmaker was injured by the police's physical exercise, and that a similar incident occurred in September.

As the candlelight square showed, the culture of nonviolent protests is also the pride of our democracy, he said, pointing out that the rally participants should work hard and the police should not overreact.

At the same time, he said that public power is not a means of limiting the rights of the people and asked the Prime Minister to take necessary measures to ensure that the National Assembly is briefed on the exact truth and circumstances.
