2) After the Uniform of Seoul on September 28, 1950, soldiers suspected of serving in the National People's Office were arrested in Daejeon District Office in accordance with the above order of special measures. Despite the fact that about 75% of the building was destroyed due to the heavy shooting at the time of the occupation of the People's Forces, inmates with more than 1,000 inmates were arrested in prison and sick due to the shortage of food, medicine, etc. as well as accommodation facilities, and the situation has deteriorated as inmates were reduced in Seoul around December of the same year.

At that time, the Daejeon District Court of Law cannot move back to the 10th and 4th time of retirement, and thus, the death penalty or imprisonment for life was killed within harmful people."

Among them, the content of the deceased is as follows.

After September 28, 1951, the deceased was killed on January 4, 1951 due to an advisory post that was taken during the investigation process after he was discharged to the National Defense Team, and was committed in Seodaemun-gu Office. The deceased was subject to harsh acts, such as adviser, in the process of having been conducted and being investigated. When the deceased was at the Seodaemun-gu Office, family members had a visit, and at the time, the deceased did not have a very rough health due to harsh acts, such as adviser, etc.

Within that period, the name of a crime including personal identification information, such as the number, name, address, and permanent domicile of the prisoner, the name of a criminal defendant and the term of punishment are included, and the list of inmates on January 14, 1951 constitutes the management number B in the above list of inmates.

[Reasons for Recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence 2, 4, 5, 7 through 11, Gap evidence 14-1, 2, Eul evidence 8, Eul evidence 9-1 through 7, Eul evidence 10, and the purport of the whole pleadings

D. Determination

1) Article 7(1)6 of the Information Disclosure Act provides that one of the information subject to non-disclosure refers to "personal identification information that can identify a specific person by name, resident registration number, etc. included in the relevant information (hereinafter referred to as "personal identification information")." Article 7(1)6 of the same Act provides that "information prepared or acquired by a public institution is excluded from "information that is deemed necessary for the public interest or for the protection of rights of individuals." Here, whether disclosure constitutes "information that is deemed necessary for the public interest" should be determined on an individual basis by comparing and comparing public interests, such as the protection of privacy, etc. of individuals protected by non-disclosure, the guarantee of citizens' right to know, the guarantee of citizens' participation in government affairs, and securing transparency in government affairs, etc. (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2003Du8302, Aug. 20, 2004).

2) Based on the above legal principles, the instant information constitutes information subject to non-disclosure, which contains the name of the crime, type of punishment, and period of punishment, including personal identification information, such as the convicted prisoner’s number, name, address, permanent domicile, etc., which was confined to the Daejeon District Court on the basis of a specific period or date. The instant information is a personal personal personal identification card stating the name of each prisoner, the execution direction, the inspection slip, and the impression characteristics. If disclosed, such information includes not only the matters by which the identity of the convicted prisoner can be identified, but also the name of the relevant crime, the type of punishment, the term of punishment, and personal information, and if disclosed, it constitutes information that could infringe on the confidentiality or freedom of personal life of the convicted prisoner or his/her bereaved family members.

However, in addition to the purport of oral argument as to the above facts, ① more than 1,80 inmates in the Daejeon District without due process can be evaluated as a historical case beyond each of the bereaved families of the victims due to murder, cruel acts, etc. committed by military personnel and police without due process. Accordingly, according to the Ordinance of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the Committee recognized the State's responsibility for the cases of sacrifice, etc. of the Daejeon District Unconvicted Prisoners in the above truth list, and provided the State with assistance to the victims and their bereaved families, and recorded a family relation register in the case of their bereaved family members, and it is reasonable to consider that it is difficult to secure the victim's privacy as materials to protect the victim's privacy. ② The plaintiff, as the bereaved family members of the Daejeon District in the scope of the right to know as well as the deceased's family members who have sacrificeed in the Daejeon District without due process, ③ The remaining information is not disclosed to the public within the scope of the right to know of the victim, ③ The name and the remaining information of the victim, including the information of this case.

3) Meanwhile, in addition to the instant information, the Plaintiff asserted to the effect that “in addition to the index of criminal case in Seoul District Prosecutors’ Office in October 1950, the information, such as the Seoul Seodaemun-type prison, the convict list, and the list of the Daejeon District Prosecutors’ Office, should be disclosed.” However, the said information is not the subject of the instant disposition as well as the initial claim for the disclosure of information, and thus, the Plaintiff’s assertion is without merit.
