2. The assertion and judgment

A. On March 9, 2012, the Plaintiff asserted that the Plaintiff joined as a party member of C Party B, which is a party member of C, and subsequently engaged in the said party activity in a thermal sense.

However, D party members, a member of the House B, made a phone call for about three months after the Plaintiff’s accession to the Party C, or visited the Plaintiff’s home to the effect that “I would die without the C party activities.”

In the event that the plaintiff returns to B as its home country, there is a concern that the plaintiff may be threatened with the freedom of life or physical freedom from the members of the D Party who are in the right of house.

Nevertheless, the disposition of this case which rejected the Plaintiff’s application for refugee status should be revoked as it is unlawful.

B. Article 2 Subparag. 1 of the Refugee Act provides that refugee status shall be respected on the grounds of race, religion, nationality, status as a member of a particular social group or political opinion.
