병역법위반

Text

A defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than one year and six months.

Reasons

Punishment of the crime

The defendant is a witness witness in Jehovahovah.

On October 15, 2013, the Defendant received a notice of enlistment in active duty service under the name of the director of the Daejeon District Military Manpower Office in the name of the Daejeon District Military Manpower Office to enlistment in the third 32 group in Sejong City by e-mail at the Defendant’s residence located in Boli-si B until November 26, 2013, and did not enlist until November 29, 2013, for which three days have passed without justifiable grounds.

1. Partial statement of the defendant;

However, even in a case where the right of the non-performance of the specific military service is guaranteed by the Constitution of Korea, and the right of the non-performance of the duty is recognized as having superior constitutional value to the legislative purpose of the above legal provision, if punishment is imposed by the application of Article 88 (1) of the Military Service Act, it would result in undue infringement of the constitutional right of the non-performance of the duty of military service. Thus, it is reasonable to deem that there exists a justifiable reason to refuse such a non-performance of the duty of military
