It is said that the gendarmerie responsible for the case of a trainee who fell to the ground and died after being tortured at a training camp ignored the family’s request for further investigation and closed the investigation.
The Military Human Rights Center announced today that the military has handed over the accidental death case of trainee Park, who died due to torture, to military prosecutors despite the objections of the deceased’s family.
Previously, the families of the deceased should review the judgment and decision of the Armed Forces Medical Command Situation Center to ensure that there was no problem with the immediate evacuation after the accident, and check whether the arrested company commander and other commanders treated other personnel harshly. I asked the police.
However, it was reported that at the investigation briefing held on the 7th, the Gendarmerie responded to this request, saying that due to investigation difficulties such as the inability to receive investigation materials, they had no choice but to end the investigation. .
The center said that during the process, the lawyer for the deceased’s family had a dispute with the military police responsible for the investigation, and the emotions were so intense that the military police left the briefing meeting midway.
At the same time, part of the transcript recorded at that time was also released.

Lieutenant Colonel Jin: “Why do you say that the records cannot be sent?”
Lawyer for the deceased’s family: “Did I issue an instruction or an order?”
Lieutenant Colonel Kim: “You can’t say that now.”
Lawyer for the deceased’s family: “No, didn’t you say you would refuse based on the request of the deceased’s family?”
Lieutenant Colonel Kim: “Don’t raise your voice. What are you doing now? Is it too much to say we’ll wait and see?”
The center also claimed that the head of the investigation, Lieutenant Colonel Kim, called the deceased’s family members “mother and father” but cursed them in front of them when they left.

Lieutenant Colonel Jin: “Mom, Dad, I’m sorry, I have to leave.”
Lawyer for the deceased’s family: “Let’s go.”
Lieutenant Colonel Jin: “If you want to raise questions in the future, I think you can ask us…XX…”
Lawyer for the deceased’s family: “Did you see that curse?”
Lawyer for the deceased’s family: “You did XX, right?” (Yes)
Later, it was reported that the gendarmerie sent the case transcript to the Military Procuratorate on the 8th, the day after the briefing, and notified the family of the deceased.
In response, the Center for Military Human Rights urged “the immediate dismissal of Lieutenant Colonel Kim as the leader of the investigation team, and that the military police start a supplementary investigation at the request of the deceased’s family.”
At the same time, he criticized, “This is an investigative briefing meeting held systematically to ensure that there is no doubt about the death case, but it is impossible for the military and police to ignore the opinions of the family of the deceased and leave midway.”
