Military Human Rights Center Calls for Personal Protection of Mobilized Soldiers for Obstruction of Arrest

The Military Human Rights Center has asked the head of the Airborne Division, the acting head of the National Police Agency, and the head of the National Investigation Division to protect the safety of junior officials and conscript soldiers mobilized to block the execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol.

The Military Human Rights Center recently said it has confirmed several reports that soldiers mobilized to interfere with arrest will be threatened to consider them as mutiny if they refuse to order to interfere with the execution of the second warrant.

In addition, it is very difficult for soldiers to refuse orders due to poor working conditions, such as restrictions on staying out and going out, so the police asked them to actively separate them from the perpetrators when executing the warrant.

He also criticized the involvement of conscripted soldiers with weak legal status in illegal activities as an anti-humanitarian criminal act by state power in that it goes beyond irresponsibility and is actually illegal forced mobilization.
