2. The costs of lawsuit shall be borne by the Plaintiff.

A. On September 20, 2014, the Plaintiff entered the Republic of Korea with a short-term visit (C-3) sojourn status on September 20, 2014, and applied for refugee status to the Defendant on December 8, 2014 when he/she had been staying for illegal stay.

B. On October 14, 2015, the Defendant rendered a decision to recognize refugee status (hereinafter the instant disposition) on the ground that the Plaintiff’s assertion does not constitute a case where there is a well-founded fear that the Plaintiff would be subject to persecution as a refugee under Article 1 of the Convention on the Status of Refugees and Article 1 of the Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees.

[Reasons for Recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap 3, 4, Eul 1, 2, the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The Plaintiff asserted that he had been working as a member of the PTPP political party in the country of nationality since 2012. During the election period of 2013, the Plaintiff and the PMF-N members were engaged in the horse fighting several times during the election period, and there was an assault from them on November 9, 2013.

Therefore, the defendant's disposition of this case which did not recognize the plaintiff as a refugee despite high possibility that the plaintiff would be subject to gambling when he returns to the country of nationality is illegal.

(b) The definitions of terms used in this Act shall be as follows:

1. The term "refugee" means a foreigner who is unable or does not want to be protected from the country of his/her nationality due to well-founded fear that he/she may be injured on the grounds of race, religion, nationality, status as a member of a specific social group, or political opinion, or a stateless foreigner who, owing to such fear, is unable or does not want to return to the country in which he/she resided before entering the Republic of Korea (hereinafter referred to as "state of his/her nationality");

C. “Lambling”, which is a requirement for recognition of refugee status 1, is a serious infringement of or discrimination against essential human dignity, including threats to life, body or freedom.
