Judgment on the defendants' and defense counsel's arguments
1. Whether the Defendants’ failure to report constitutes a violation of the Assembly and Demonstration Act pursuant to the Assembly and Demonstration Act
A. Relevant legal principles
1) Criteria for determining whether an organizer is an organizer
According to Article 2 subparag. 3 of the Assembly and Demonstration Act (hereinafter “the Assembly and Demonstration Act”), the organizer refers to a person or organization taking part in an assembly or demonstration under his/her own responsibility under Article 2 subparag. 3 of the Assembly and Demonstration Act. The organizer of a demonstration subject to prior report under Article 6(1) of the Assembly and Demonstration Act refers to a person who holds or takes part in an assembly or demonstration, or who plans and forms a demonstration and takes part in the implementation of the demonstration (see Supreme Court Decision 2009Do2821, Sept. 29, 201). In addition, in applying the penal provisions of the Assembly and Demonstration Act, if an organization promotes an assembly or demonstration under Article 25 of the Assembly and Demonstration Act, its representative shall be deemed the organizer.
2) Scope of application of Article 15 of the Assembly and Demonstration Act
Unlike Article 2 Subparag. 2 of the Assembly and Demonstration Act defines that “the term of a demonstration means an act of driving at a place where many people can freely pass through, such as a road, plaza, park, etc. for common purposes, or showing power or influence on, or pressure on, an unspecified number of people.” However, an assembly subject to security and regulation under the Assembly and Demonstration Act refers to an act of temporarily gathering at a certain place for the purpose of externally expressing such opinion.” (see Supreme Court Decision 2007Do1649, Jul. 9, 2009, etc.). Meanwhile, Article 15 of the Assembly and Demonstration Act does not require the chief of a police station to submit a report in advance to the chief of the competent police station for an outdoor assembly or demonstration beyond the scope of an opportunity to submit the report to the chief of the competent police station in accordance with Article 6 of the Assembly and Demonstration Act. However, even if an outdoor assembly or demonstration is held within the scope of an outdoor assembly or demonstration, it does not require the chief of the competent police station to submit the report in advance.
B. Determination
1) On April 11, 2015, whether an assembly or demonstration constitutes a violation of the Assembly and Demonstration Act following an assembly or demonstration not reported.
In light of the aforementioned legal principles and the following circumstances admitted by the evidence, the fact that the Defendants conspired to hold an outdoor assembly or demonstration on April 11, 2015 without filing a prior report is recognized.
A) The Defendants recognized the fact that they held a demonstration from around April 11, 2015 without filing a prior report.
B) Defendant 1, who is a standing operating member and Defendant 2’s 4/16 joint and several staff members, publicly announced on the website that “one person’s total action for destruction of governmental enforcement decree, such as a group of demonstration, and group of groups, from April 11, 2015 to 30 p.m.” (Article 7:266 of the Investigation Records) and held an outdoor assembly without filing a prior report. Although the above assembly was held in the form of culture, since it was held and progress for the purpose of urging the “for the Sewol ferry and the destruction of the Enforcement Decree” beyond the purpose of art awareness, it cannot be viewed as an assembly under Article 15 of the Assembly and Demonstration Act.
2) On April 16, 2015, whether the assembly or demonstration violated the Assembly and Demonstration Act pursuant to an unreported assembly or demonstration is established
In light of the aforementioned legal principles and the following circumstances admitted by the evidence, the fact that the Defendants conspired to hold an outdoor assembly or demonstration on April 16, 2015 without filing a prior report is recognized.
A) On April 16, 2015, the April 16, 2016 solidarity officially declared the presidential Decree, namely, the destruction and hull seal in the Seoul Square, and held an outdoor assembly on its website that “after the event, it is a part-time hall installed in the luminous square” (No. 250 of the Investigation Records No. 7), and without a prior report after advertising in a daily newspaper (No. 7th page of the Investigation Records No. 52 of the Investigation Records). Although the above assembly was held in the form of a memorial system, it was held and progress for the purpose of urging “the destruction of the Sewol ferry and the destruction of the Enforcement Decree” beyond the purpose of consciousness, and it cannot be deemed that the assembly that took place from around 19:0 to around 21:10 is an assembly under Article 15 of the Assembly and Demonstration Act.
B) After the completion of the above assembly, the participants of the assembly moved in the direction of the luminous square, without going through the outside of the relief of the Sewol ferry and the destruction of the Enforcement Decree, and going through the direction of the luminous square, as examined in the following 3.b.2(a). The Defendants made a statement to instigate participants, as well as the participants. Accordingly, Article 15 of the Assembly and Demonstration Act does not apply to a demonstration as it constitutes a demonstration that affects the opinions of many unspecified persons, or that it constitutes an act of undermining the free access of the general public with a common purpose.
3) Whether a crime of violating the Assembly and Demonstration Act following an unreported assembly or demonstration on May 1, 2015 or on February 1, 2015 is established
In light of the aforementioned legal principles and the evidence duly admitted, the fact that the Defendants conspired to hold an assembly or demonstration on May 1, 2015 or on February 2, 2015 without filing a prior report is recognized.
A) Defendant 2 recognized the fact that an outdoor assembly or demonstration was held on May 1, 2015 or on May 2, 2015 without filing a prior report.
B) On the other hand, Defendant 1 alleged that the above assembly or demonstration did not have been hosted, but Defendant 1 publicly announced on the website that 4/16 Joint and several members of the April 1, 2015, “after the progress of labor-saving competitions in Seoul Square from 7:0 p.m. to 5:0 p.m., they held an assembly with the audience from 7:0 p.m. (No. 7:36 of the Investigation Record). At the end of the assembly, the participants took care of the “def.c.,” and carried out the assembly with the front lane. Article 14(3) of the Joint and Several Regulations of 4/16 provides that “The standing operating member shall be regularly responsible for the operation of the p.m. and the execution of the work at the p.m.” (see the National Joint and Several Covenant of April 16, 100, etc.). As such, Defendant 1 and the organizer of an outdoor assembly shall represent joint and several, pursuant to Article 25 of the Assembly Act.
2. Whether the Defendants’ failure to comply with the dispersion order constitutes a crime of violation of the Assembly and Demonstration Act
A. Relevant legal principles
1) The need for notification of the cause of dissolution
Article 20(1) of the Assembly and Demonstration Act provides that “the head of the competent police authority may demand voluntary dispersion of any of the following assemblies or demonstrations within a considerable time and order dispersion if such demand is not complied with.” Article 20(2) provides that “All participants shall immediately dissolve when an assembly or demonstration is ordered to do so under paragraph (1).” As a matter of interpretation of the relevant provision, when the head of the competent police authority issues the dispersion order, he/she must specifically notify whether the cause for dissolution falls under any of the subparagraphs of Article 20(1) of the Assembly and Demonstration Act (see Supreme Court Decision 2011Do7193, Feb. 9, 2012). Therefore, in cases where the head of the competent police authority did not give specific notice of the cause for dissolution while issuing the dispersion order or ordered dispersion while notifying a justifiable cause, even if not complying with such dispersion order, it cannot be said that Article 20(2) of the Assembly and Demonstration Act has been violated (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2013Do4127, Mar. 13, 2014).
2) Requirements for dispersion order in the case of an assembly or demonstration not reported
Article 6(1)2, Article 20(2), and Article 24 subparag. 5 of the Assembly and Demonstration Act impose a duty to report on a person who intends to hold an outdoor assembly or demonstration, stating specific matters, before 720 hours to the chief of the competent police station, and may order dissolution of an outdoor assembly or demonstration which is not reported accordingly through certain procedures. The purport of the Act’s prior notification regarding an outdoor assembly or demonstration is to protect the legal interests of others by grasping its nature and size in advance and to protect legitimate outdoor assembly or demonstration, and thus, to ensure that the freedom of assembly or demonstration is not clearly permitted for the sake of maintaining public safety and order by providing information on the assembly or demonstration to the head of the competent police station during the period from 20 hours to 48 hours (see Supreme Court Decision 208Do31166, Oct. 23, 2008). As such, the State’s freedom of assembly or demonstration, including the freedom of assembly or demonstration, is not necessarily subject to any restriction on the freedom of assembly or demonstration.
B. Determination
In light of the above legal principles and the following circumstances admitted by the evidence, the Defendants violated the lawful dispersion order by the head of the competent police authority on April 11, 2015 and April 16, 2015.
1) Grounds for dispersion
On April 11, 2015 and April 16, 2015, the chief of the Sejong Police Station guard who was authorized to issue an order of dispersion by the head of the competent police authority at the place of assembly and demonstration requested voluntary dispersion on the ground that the participants were an assembly or demonstration for which a report under Article 6(1) of the Assembly and Demonstration Act was not made, and thereafter issued a dispersion order on ten occasions on April 11, 2015 and on four occasions on April 16, 2015 as prescribed in Article 20(1)2 of the Assembly and Demonstration Act.
2) Whether a direct danger to another person’s legal interest or public peace and order has been clearly caused
As examined earlier, the Defendants held an outdoor assembly or demonstration without filing a prior report on April 11, 2015, April 16, 2015, and as examined in Articles 3.b.1 and 3.b.2, the Defendants clearly clarified that they would be going to go to the direction of the Cheongdaedae by going through the Cheongdaemun square, as well as with many participants of the demonstration, with the appearance of aid, such as “the Enforcement Decree is abolished. The Nonindicted Party is going to abolish the Enforcement Decree.” As such, it can be recognized that the director of the senior police station directly at the time of issuing a dispersion order, the direct danger to other’s legal interest or public safety and order has been clearly caused.
3. Whether the crime of obstructing special obstruction of performance of official duties, injury resulting from special obstruction of official duties, or damage to special public goods;
A. Relevant legal principles
1) Whether performance of duties is lawful or not
A) Legal grounds and lawful requirements for the installation of teas and safety fences
Article 6(1) of the Act on the Performance of Duties by Police Officers (hereinafter “Act on the Performance of Duties by Police Officers”) provides that “If a police officer deems that a criminal act is about to be committed in front of the police officer, the police officer may issue a warning to interested persons to prevent the criminal act, and if it is urgent that such act might inflict harm on human life and body or cause serious damage to property, the police officer may restrain the act.” In order for a police officer’s restraint measure under the above provision to be deemed legitimate performance of his/her duties, it can be objectively recognized that the act subject to criminal punishment can be conducted in front of the snow, and there is a situation where the act is likely to inflict harm on human life and body, or would inflict serious damage on property unless the act is avoided, and thus, it must be an imminent situation other than by which the aforementioned consequence cannot be prevented (see Supreme Court Decision 2012Do9937, Jun. 13, 2013).
B) The legal basis and lawful requirements for the operation of gas sprayers and sprinks
Article 10 of the Act on the Performance of Duties by Police Officers provides that "The police officer may use police equipment, such as weapons, police gear, tear agents, launching devices thereof, and sprinks during the performance of his/her duties." Article 10-3 subparagraph 2 of the Act on the Performance of Duties by Police Officers provides that "If it is inevitable for the police officer to perform his/her duty of preventing significant danger and injury to the life, body, property, and safety of public facilities due to illegal assembly or demonstration, the police officer may use a gas gun to the minimum necessary minimum extent at his/her discretion." Article 13(1) of the Regulations on the Criteria, etc. for the Use of Police Equipment provides that "Where it is inevitable for the police officer to suppress any danger and injury to the life, body, or property of another person or police officer that may be caused by illegal assembly, demonstration, or riot, and any danger and injury to public facilities, the police officer
C) Criteria for determining the legality of the execution of duties relating to an assembly or demonstration
(1) The existence of the need to guarantee a lawful and peaceful freedom of assembly or demonstration
Article 21(1) of the Constitution provides that “All citizens shall have the freedom of press and the freedom of assembly and association,” thereby guaranteeing the freedom of assembly including demonstration as a fundamental right. Such freedom of assembly and demonstration is a fundamental right that an individual may freely express his/her opinion and assertion in group without intervention or coercion of state power, and belongs to an individual’s personality expression element and an essential element of a democratic state of representative democracy (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2009Do13846, Oct. 13, 201). In that it provides a minority group not having access to the media in the modern society with appropriate means to defend their rights and interests, it has very important meaning as a counter reflecting the state opinion (see, e.g., Constitutional Court Order 200Hun-Ba67, Oct. 30, 2003). Therefore, the freedom of peaceful assembly and demonstration is lawful, and the assembly and demonstration should be guaranteed to the maximum extent possible, and in the event of a violation of the relevant laws and regulations, regardless of whether an assembly or demonstration is subject to be subject to punishment.
(2) The existence of the need to harmoniously guarantee the freedom of assembly or demonstration and public peace and order.
However, the freedom of assembly or demonstration is not absolute or unlimited, and is more likely to cause damage to public peace and order or legal peace and peace than in the case of an individual act due to the nature of an assembly or demonstration, which is a means of expression accompanying collective activities of many people (see, e.g., Constitutional Court Order 91Hun-Ba14, Apr. 28, 1994). Therefore, the freedom of assembly or demonstration may be restricted by Act if necessary for national security, maintenance of public order, or public welfare within the extent that its essential contents are not infringed pursuant to Article 37(2) of the Constitution. If an assembly or demonstration considerably violates relevant laws and regulations or is made in peace and order, it is necessary to restrict it in order to ensure legitimate and peaceful assembly or demonstration freedom and public peace and order (see, e.g., Supreme Court Order 91Hun-Ba14, Apr. 28, 1994); Article 15(1) of the Assembly or Demonstration Act (see, e.g., Article 15(2)1)., Article 5).
(3) The importance of the prior reporting system in guaranteeing lawful and peaceful assemblies and demonstrations
Article 6(1) of the Assembly and Demonstration Act provides for the prior reporting system of an outdoor assembly or demonstration. However, in light of the respective provisions of the Assembly and Demonstration Act and the purport of the prior reporting system as seen earlier, prior reporting is the starting point of mutual efforts for the freedom of assembly or demonstration, the national security, the maintenance of public order, or the balance between public welfare. Therefore, it cannot be said that the above duty to report is exempted on the ground that the opinion to indicate through an outdoor assembly or demonstration is justifiable (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 90Do870, Aug. 14, 1990; 2008Do9049, Oct. 25, 2010; 2008Do9049, etc.), or that an outdoor assembly or demonstration would be held is peaceful (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2007Do1649, Jul. 9, 2009).
(4) Duties of State agencies, such as the organizer of an assembly or demonstration and the police, to ensure harmonious guarantee
The organizer of an assembly or demonstration and the police, etc. shall endeavor to ensure the lawful and peaceful freedom of the assembly or demonstration and public peace and order harmoniously. In particular, the organizer of an assembly or demonstration shall not be obliged to file a constitutional complaint against the return of the report by the head of the competent police authority, or to file an objection against the notification of the prohibition or restriction of the assembly or demonstration, or to file an administrative litigation, etc. without due process; and shall hold an assembly or demonstration through legitimate procedures; and shall endeavor to seek cooperation to ensure the legitimate and peaceful assembly or demonstration with the police and other national agencies; and shall endeavor to prevent and remove the non-pacific situation by himself/herself, if it is anticipated that the assembly or demonstration might be interfered with (Article 3(3)); and (4) the organizer of an assembly or demonstration may request the competent police authority to protect the assembly or demonstration from participating in the assembly or demonstration (Article 4(1)6); and (6) the organizer of the assembly or demonstration shall not immediately file an objection against the notification of the prohibition or restriction of the assembly or demonstration (Article 16(1).6).
Meanwhile, in light of the purport of the prior reporting system as seen earlier, national agencies, such as the police, must strictly interpret the requirements for prohibiting or restricting assemblies or demonstrations so as not to operate the prior reporting system in the form of a permitted system, and must cooperate closely with the organizer to maintain order by actively responding to the request for the protection of organizers and by formulating a transportation plan so that the reported assemblies or demonstrations can proceed lawfully and peacefully, and shall endeavor to induce and protect peaceful assemblies or demonstrations more peacefully than the role of preventing and managing the assembly or demonstration during the assembly or demonstration.
(5) Matters to be considered in determining the legality of the performance of duties relating to an assembly or demonstration
The legality of performing duties related to an assembly or demonstration is not determined by pure objective criteria, in particular, on the basis of the specific situation at the time of taking measures, by comprehensively taking into account whether the organizer of an assembly or demonstration or State agencies, such as the police, have made every effort to hold a lawful and peaceful assembly or demonstration, including the purpose, size, etc. of the assembly or demonstration (see Supreme Court Decision 2012Do937, Jun. 13, 2013). In other words, ① an outdoor assembly or demonstration held without due process, including a prior report, or an outdoor assembly or demonstration held without a prior report, or the actual outdoor assembly or demonstration was not identical with the reported date, time, place, purpose, size, etc., and ② the organizer of an assembly or demonstration is deemed to have been unlawful or to not actively endeavored to hold an assembly or demonstration without any prior request or measures, or to maintain the order or demonstration without any particular reason even if it is anticipated that the assembly or demonstration would be carried out in an unlawful or peaceful manner.
On the other hand, the organizer of an assembly or demonstration voluntarily takes measures, such as holding an assembly or demonstration through lawful procedures, such as prior reporting, excluding participation from a specific organization or person for a lawful and peaceful assembly or demonstration, and requested the competent police agency to provide prior protection, and actively takes measures to maintain order at the time of an assembly or demonstration, such as making a declaration of termination in the event of an unlawful or non-pacific situation, but (2) the police authorities, etc. actively cope with the situation, such as taking measures to ensure a lawful and peaceful assembly or demonstration; however, the police authorities’ efforts to prevent and manage an assembly or demonstration by installing the following walls or safety fences, etc., and restricting the movement of the participants on the ground that it is illegal or pacific assembly or demonstration without making all efforts to ensure its lawful and peaceful assembly or demonstration; and even if there is a conflict between the participants and police, it should be deemed that the enforcement of the police authority’s exercise of public authority for the prevention, suppression, dissolution, and dissolution of an assembly or demonstration is strict and its duty of examination is strict.
2) Requirements for the establishment of co-principals
Article 30 of the Criminal Act is established by satisfying the subjective and objective requirements, which constitute a crime through functional control over the criminal intent. Even if part of the conspiracys do not directly participate in the crime, if it is acknowledged that there exists functional control over the crime through substantial contribution to the crime rather than mere conspiracys, it is not possible to exempt public officials from punishment as a so-called co-principal (see, e.g., Supreme Court en banc Decision 98Do321, May 21, 1998; 2002Do995, Jun. 24, 2004; 2002Do5206, Mar. 11, 2005). It is also possible that the two or more co-offenders had no specific criminal intent to commit a crime, and thus, they would not have any specific criminal intent to commit a crime, and thus, they would not have any specific criminal intent to commit a crime, such as the likelihood of two or more different criminal intent to commit a crime.

On April 18, 2015, the participants in the demonstration moved along a lane in the direction of the flow of the luminous plaza in the direction of the luminous plaza in the direction of the direction of the luminous plaza in the direction of the erode, around 16:35 on April 18, 2015. On the same day, the police made efforts to maintain the traffic order, ensure the safety of the participants in the demonstration, and ensure the passage of the participants in the demonstration, such as bypassing the vehicles going through the luminous bridge.
C) Other factors to be considered.
(1) Scale and mode of demonstration participants
The instant demonstration was held without a prior report, and the police could not expect the direction of the participants or the direction of the demonstration. However, on April 18, 2015, citizens participated in the demonstration with more than 10,000 people, and the demonstration was conducted in a way that occupies the entire lane in a broad area.
(2) The direction of the participants in the demonstration and the possibility of collision;
As examined in the above 1)(A)(2)(b) of the organizer including Defendant 1, as of April 11, 2015, as seen in the above 2)(A)(2)(b), as seen in the above 2)(a)(2)(b) of the demonstration, Defendant 1 agreed to proceed toward the direction of the Cheongdae for the purpose of linking human belts on April 18, 2015. On April 18, 2015, Defendant 1 made it clear that it was the main purpose of the demonstration. As such, there was a conflict between the police forces to prevent access within 100 meters from the boundary of the Cheongdaedae-dae, which is an absolute prohibition zone, and about 10,000 demonstration, which seeks to enter the direction of the Cheongdae-dae-dae, thereby causing damage to the citizens’ property, health, and safety.
(3) The need to install police stations using police forces, safety fences, tea walls, and gas sprayers.
On April 18, 2015, participants of a demonstration took place in the direction of the luminous plaza with a part of the lane after the statement that "by the luminous square" was made on April 16:35, 2015, and the police was installed in the direction of the participants of the demonstration, but the participants of the demonstration continued to go beyond the polyslass, disregarding the police warning and failing to go beyond the polyslass. In light of the circumstances and the situation that the participants of the demonstration clearly expressed the aim of carrying out activities in the direction of the Cheongsium, it is objectively recognized that the act subject to criminal punishment at the time of the police's decision is likely to be done in the front, and there is a concern that if the participants fail to stop the act, it would immediately cause harm to human life and body, or cause serious damage to property, and subsequent to the demolition of the police demonstration, it is recognized that there was no way to remove the participants of the demonstration from the front of the Seoul Police Station with the direction of installing the police pen and the direction to stop.
(4) Necessity of dissolution using a sprink
The police sent a warning to the participants of the demonstration in the vicinity of the Sejong Culture Center that the participants in the demonstration exercised violence and damaged safety fences, etc., etc., and the demonstration took place in a clearly violent aspect, the police sent a warning to the participants of the demonstration, and then ordered the participants of the demonstration to use the sprinks, etc. after giving a warning to the participants of the demonstration.
4. Whether general traffic obstruction is constituted;
A. Relevant legal principles
The purpose of Article 185 of the Criminal Act is to punish all acts which make it impossible or considerably difficult to pass through by causing damage to land, etc. or interference with traffic by other means (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 95Do1475, Sept. 15, 1995). Moreover, general traffic obstruction is not so abstract dangerous crime that traffic is impossible or considerably difficult, and the result of traffic obstruction is not practically impossible (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2004Do7545, Oct. 28, 2005). If it is considerably difficult to pass through the road as provided in Article 21(1) of the Criminal Act or if it is considerably difficult to pass through the road as provided in Article 185 of the Criminal Act, it shall be deemed that the reported general traffic obstruction or demonstration is considerably difficult to pass through the road as provided in Article 21(1) of the Criminal Act, and thus, it shall be established within the scope of the reported general traffic flow or smooth traffic flow order and public order.
B. Determination
1) Whether the Defendants’ establishment of a general traffic obstruction on July 24, 2014 constitutes a crime of interference with the general traffic.
In light of the above legal principles and the evidence duly admitted, it is recognized that the defendants, in collusion with the participants in an assembly, could not pass through the road or made it considerably difficult for them to pass through the road by significantly deviating from the reported scope.
A) The national countermeasure conference with the Defendants as the chairperson of the Joint Operation Committee reported outdoor assembly and its progress to the front side of the Dong-gun of the luminous square, starting from Seoul Square on July 24, 2014, and going to the front of the Dong-gun of the Lee In-Ja-gun.
B) The Defendants: (a) on May 9, 2014, May 17, 2014; (b) on May 31, 2014; (b) on May 31, 2014; and (c) on July 12, 2014, the participants in the assembly moved along the front lane in the assemblies and demonstrations for the enactment of the Special Act; and (b) on July 12, 2014, it was possible for the participants of the assembly to depart from the front lane in Seoul square; and (b) on the website of the National Countermeasures Council, the Defendants did not take any particular measures to ensure traffic order.
C) The participants in the assembly moved along the lane from Seoul Square to the ethical square without disregarding polyslass and going through the ethrogate zone, and thereafter, the conference was convened without occupying the two lanes prior to the direction of the school building.
2) Whether Defendant 2’s establishment of a general traffic obstruction on August 15, 2014
In light of the above legal principles and the evidence admitted as follows, it is recognized that the defendant conspired with the participants in an assembly to obstruct the passage of the road, thereby making it impossible or considerably difficult for them to pass through the road.
A) On August 13, 2014, the National Countermeasure Meeting with the Defendant’s Chairman of the Joint Operation Committee submitted to the head of Seoul Southern Police Station a report stating that “The meeting shall be held at the Seoul Square from August 15, 2014 to the 11:00 to 22:00, the meeting shall be held.”
B) According to documentary evidence photographs, it is recognized that the defendant occupied most of the roads on which the vehicle is in progress with the participants in the assembly and operated by the defendant.
3) Whether Defendants’ establishment of interference with general traffic on April 11, 2015, and April 16, 2015 constitutes interference with general traffic.
As seen above, as seen in the above legal principles and Articles 3.2.2 and 3.2(b) and 3.2(2) of the above, it is recognized that the Defendants conspired with the participants in the assembly to hold each assembly and demonstration on April 11, 2015, and moved along the front lane with the participants in the assembly, and the participants in the assembly moved along with the participants in the assembly and moved along the front lane. Since the launch of the vehicle, the vehicle wall was installed after the participants moved along the vehicle. There was no reason to require the participants who moved along the front lane to pass through the delivery or to take measures to maintain traffic order. Rather, in light of the circumstances where the Defendants urged the Defendants to go along the direction of the audience, it is recognized that the Defendants led the participants in the assembly to make it impossible or significantly difficult to pass through the road by interfering with road traffic.
4) Whether Defendant 1’s establishment of a general traffic obstruction crime on April 18, 2015
As seen above, as seen in the above legal principles and 3.b.3 above, the defendant's 4.16 solidarity, which is a standing operating member, announced in advance on April 18, 2015 that he would hold the instant demonstration without any prior report, and held the instant demonstration without a prior report. Since the participants in the assembly moved along a lane, it was installed after the participants started to drive along the lane. The defendant occupied the road along with the participants in the demonstration, and did not take any measures to seek the participants to use the road for delivery or to maintain traffic order. Rather, in light of the circumstances, the defendant organized the demonstration at the luminous square and arranged the demonstration in the light of the purport that "at the same time, many sections, including the front democratic movement of the front line, etc., were born," and it is recognized that the fact that the defendant conspired with the participants in the assembly, thereby obstructing the passage of the road or making it significantly difficult for them to pass through the road.
5. Whether the crime of defamation by Defendant 1 was established
A. In the crime of defamation, whether “a statement of fact” is “a statement of fact”
1) Relevant legal principles
“Public allegation of fact” in the crime of defamation refers to a report or statement of specific past or present facts in comparison to an expression of opinion containing a value judgment or evaluation. The expression “public allegation of fact” refers to a statement that can be proved by evidence, and the expression should so maintain the body of a specific person so as to be likely to infringe on the social value or evaluation (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 93Do696, Jun. 28, 1994; 201Do6904, Aug. 18, 201). Meanwhile, it should be deemed that the context is 70 times or public allegation of facts, other than a simple expression, or a mere statement or statement of a third party, referring to a statement of fact 97; 207Do6979, Nov. 27, 2008; 2007Do9797, etc.). It should also be deemed that the expression or statement of fact was made in a way that indicates that the fact can exist in light of the overall expression.
2) Determination
In light of the following circumstances acknowledged in accordance with each evidence of the court below in light of the legal principles and the circumstances that the defendant did not make efforts to confirm whether the suspicion is true, and the majority of citizens did not have a very negative perception of narcotics, it can be deemed that the defendant expressed the following facts: “The President outside the public prosecution was at the time of the occurrence of the Sewol ferry, or was under the Stockholm procedure, and was unable to perform his duties for 7 hours after the occurrence of the Sewol ferry,” and thus, it can be deemed that the defendant knew the fact that “the President outside the public prosecution was at the time of the occurrence of the Sewol ferry, was unable to perform his duties appropriately for 7 hours after the occurrence of the Sewol ferry incident.”
가) 피고인은 국민대책회의의 공동운영위원장이자 4ㆍ16 연대의 상임운영위원으로서 앞서 살펴본 바와 같이 세월호 참사 관련 집회ㆍ시위를 주최하고, 이에 적극적으로 참여하였다. 수사기관은 판시『2015고합690』범죄사실과 같은 혐의로 2015. 6. 19. 피고인, 피고인 2, 4ㆍ16 연대 사무실 등을 압수ㆍ수색하였고, 피고인은 압수ㆍ수색이 이뤄진 당일 세월호 참사 관련 집회ㆍ시위에 대한 경찰의 대응 방식 및 검찰의 압수ㆍ수색 행위를 비판하고, 세월호 참사의 진상을 규명하고 책임자 처벌을 위해 정부와 맞서 싸울 것을 다짐하는 내용의 기자회견을 하였다. 한편 피고인과 피고인 2 등에 대한 압수ㆍ수색 절차는 위와 같은 피고인의 발언 이후에도 계속되었고, 피고인은 압수ㆍ수색 절차가 진행 중이던 2015. 6. 22. ‘① 피고인과 피고인 2, 4ㆍ16 연대 사무실, ○○○○○○ 사무실, △△△△△△△△△연대 사무실에 대한 압수ㆍ수색 사실 언급, ② 세월호 관련 집회ㆍ시위에서 캡사이신, 살수차를 사용한 경찰에 대한 항의, ③ 집회ㆍ시위 현장에서 이미 채증을 하였음에도 위와 같은 압수ㆍ수색을 하는 것에 대한 항의, ④ 이 사건 발언, ⑤ 세월호 참사의 진실을 밝히기 위해 시행령을 폐기하고 진상규명특별위원회가 제대로 작동하게 해야 한다는 주장, ⑥ 그렇지 않으면 계속하여 싸울 것이고 4ㆍ16 연대를 발족할 것이라는 선언’의 순서로 기자회견을 하였다. 한편 이 사건 발언은 ‘㉠ 청와대에 대한 압수ㆍ수색이 필요하다. ㉡ 세월호 참사 발생 이후 7시간 동안 공소외인 대통령의 소재가 불분명하다. ㉢ 국민들이 7시간 동안 공소외인 대통령이 마약을 하거나 보톡스 시술을 받은 것이 아닌가하는 의혹을 제기하고 있다. ㉣ 청와대를 뒤져서 마약이 있는지, 보톡스를 했는지를 확인해보고 싶다’는 내용으로 이루어져있다.
나) 피고인은 국민들이 제기한 의혹을 소개하는 방식(㉢)으로 이 사건 발언을 하였다. 따라서 이는 ‘공소외인 대통령이 세월호 참사 발생 무렵 마약을 하거나 보톡스 시술을 받았다’라는 표현이나 ‘개인적으로 피해자 공소외인 대통령이 세월호 참사 발생 무렵 마약을 하거나 보톡스 시술을 받은 것이 아닌지 의심된다’라는 표현에 비해 간접적이고, 우회적인 표현이다. 그러나 ‘공소외인 대통령이 세월호 참사 발생 무렵 마약을 하거나 보톡스를 하였는지 여부’는 증거에 의해 증명이 가능한 사실이고, 피고인은 방송사 기자회견이라는 공식적인 방법으로 위와 같은 발언을 하였으며, 피해자 공소외인 대통령에게 ‘위 7시간 동안의 행적에 관한 의혹을 해명할 것’을 요구하지 않은 채 단지 세월호 참사 발생 이후 7시간 동안 피해자 공소외인 대통령의 소재가 분명하지 않았다는 발언(㉡)에 더하여 피고인이 소개한 의혹의 내용이 사실일 가능성이 있음을 전제로 ‘청와대를 압수ㆍ수색하여 마약이 있는지, 보톡스가 있는지 뒤져야한다’는 발언(㉣)을 하였을 뿐이다. 이러한 사정에 비추어 보면, 피고인은 단순히 위와 같은 의혹이 존재한다는 사실을 소개하거나 이에 대한 해명을 요구하는 차원을 넘어 ‘공소외인 대통령이 세월호 참사 발생 무렵 마약을 하거나, 보톡스를 하였고, 이로 인하여 세월호 참사 발생 이후 7시간 동안 적절하게 직무를 수행하지 못하였다’는 사실을 암시한 것으로 볼 수 있다.
C) On April 16, 2014, a large number of media companies around August 2014, which were the Nonindicted Party prior to the instant transfer, submitted three written reports and seven-time wire reports from the Security Office at intervals of 20 to 30 minutes, and the president received 11-time written reports from the Security Office. Since the president is accompanied by the executive branch and the head of the State is the head of the State, the president’s location and the head of the State does not always disclose to anyone the position of the president to the public. Nevertheless, the Defendant failed to present objective and old material supporting materials that exceed the simple level of novels in making the instant remarks.
B. Whether an individual can be a victim of defamation under the Criminal Act
A) Relevant legal principles
Matters pertaining to the decision-making or performance of duties by the government or a state agency must always be subject to surveillance and criticism by the people. Such surveillance and criticism can only be performed normally when the freedom of press reports is sufficiently guaranteed, and the government or a state agency cannot be a victim of defamation under the Criminal Act. Thus, even if the social evaluation of public officials who participated in the decision-making or performance of duties can be somewhat lowered due to press reports, the contents of the report cannot be deemed as defamation of public officials immediately due to the report unless it is evaluated that the contents of the report are considerably malicious or highly rush attack against public officials, unless it is evaluated that the report is considerably unreasonable (see Supreme Court Decision 2010Do17237, Sept. 2, 201).
According to such legal doctrine, the State or government agency cannot be a victim of the crime of defamation under the Criminal Act, and the criticism against the State, etc. cannot be a victim of defamation against a public official. However, the personal right of a public official who is the subject of fundamental rights is protected within a certain scope based on Article 10 of the Constitution, etc. Therefore, in a case where the personal right of a public official was infringed due to an act of expression that is in bad faith or extremely rush, which goes beyond the limit of evaluation as being considerably unreasonable as the subject of fundamental rights, legal liability, such as liability for defamation under the Criminal Act, should be established against the expressive act. In addition, since the President has a personality as a private person holding the personality and becomes the subject of reputation as a private person and has a status as a servant of the public interest as a civil servant, the President is also the subject of personal rights in relation to the status as a private person (see, e.g., Constitutional Court Decisions 2007Hun-Ma700, Jan. 17, 2008; 2015Do94969
B) Determination
The President of the Republic of Korea constitutes a representative official figure, and has the authority to give all instructions necessary for structural activities (Article 11(1) of the Government Organization Act). The issue of whether the President performed his/her duties properly at the time of the incident falls under an official review. However, as seen earlier, the statement in this case constitutes a public question. However, as seen earlier, the statement in this case is expressed by the Defendant without any reasonable ground during the process of resisting the search and seizure against the Defendant, and is expressed by the Nonindicted Party, without any reasonable ground, that the Defendant unilaterally sold the Nonindicted Party’s individual, who was the Defendant, and without any justifiable reason, expressed that he/she did not commit a criminal act like narcotics, and raises suspicions of doubt that he/she left the port. Moreover, the Defendant did not take measures to confirm the authenticity of the statement in this case (No.). Accordingly, the Defendant’s expression of the Defendant through the statement in this case (no.S.) is deemed to have considerably lost reasonableness as a malicious or extremely rush attack against the Nonindicted Party. Accordingly, it constitutes defamation against the Nonindicted Party.

3. Determination of sentence: Defendant 1 shall be sentenced to three years of imprisonment, four years of suspended sentence, and Defendant 2 shall be sentenced to three years of suspended sentence of imprisonment; and
There is no disagreement that the freedom of assembly or demonstration should be guaranteed to the maximum extent possible without emphasizing the contents of Article 21 of the Constitution. However, the freedom of assembly or demonstration should be in harmony with other legal interests in its exercise with the public safety and order, legal peace, etc., due to the nature of collective action. As can be seen, in harmony with the freedom of assembly or demonstration and other legal interests, the organizer of an assembly or demonstration shall inform the police and other national agencies of the contents, size, and method of the assembly or demonstration, etc. of the lawful and peaceful assembly or demonstration through prior report, and seek cooperation to ensure peaceful assembly or demonstration is the starting point of such efforts. On the other hand, if the organizer of an assembly or demonstration holds an assembly or demonstration through legitimate procedures, and the organizer of an assembly or demonstration has made an advance or ex post facto efforts to carry out a lawful and peaceful assembly or demonstration, the State agency, such as the police, etc., shall make best efforts to ensure that the assembly or demonstration is being carried out or is not carried out in peace.
Although Defendants had already been punished for the same kind of crime, the event of an assembly or demonstration, non-compliance with a dispersion order, general traffic obstruction, etc., which led to considerable damage to the residents around the place of assembly or demonstration, thereby causing significant obstacles to traffic communication for a considerable period of time. Defendant 2 conspired with the participants in the assembly to assault police force in performing duties, and Defendant 1 conspired with the participants in the assembly to impair the utility of public goods and to injure the police force carrying out duties, thereby causing injury. Although the purpose of the assembly or demonstration is legitimate, if the means and methods leading up to it violate the law and principles, such act would undermine the value of democracy. Such circumstances are considered as an unfavorable sentencing factor against the Defendants.
However, there are circumstances that may be considered in the motive of committing the crime, such as preventing the recurrence of similar witnesses through the investigation of the truth of the Sewol ferry, and conducting activities to build a safe society, with respect to the bereaved family members who lost their reputation and were suffering from mental pain due to the Defendants’ loss of a sudden witness who was unable to win immediately after the Sewol ferry. Such circumstances shall be considered as factors for sentencing favorable to the Defendants. Furthermore, the number of the Defendants’ participation in each of the instant crimes, the degree, and the role of the Defendants, shall be determined differently depending on the number of the Defendants’ participation in, and the degree of, and the role of, the instant crimes.
In addition, the defendants' age, character and conduct, environment, family relationship, circumstances after the crime, and all the sentencing conditions specified in the arguments of this case shall be determined as ordered by considering the following factors.
The acquittal portion
1. Defendants’ violation of the Assembly and Demonstration Act following the organizing of an unreported demonstration on July 24, 2014
A. Summary of this part of the facts charged
A person who intends to hold an outdoor assembly or demonstration shall submit a report on it to the chief of the competent police station from 720 hours to 48 hours before commencing the outdoor assembly or demonstration.
At around 20:30 on July 24, 2014, Defendants, the Joint Operating Chairperson of the National Countermeasure Committee, held 5,00 or more members of the National Countermeasure Committee in Seoul, Jung-gu, Seoul, with the view to holding and attending Nonindicted Party 133 Round culture festivals, and Defendant 1 believed that there is no such precedent. However, the government opened a special law for the Republic of Korea’s judicial system. We do not have any right to move into 5-lane building. We need to move into 1-2-2-4-2-2-4-2-4-2-3-2-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-4-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-3-3-4-3-2-3-3-3-2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-4-4-3-2-3-2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-4-3-4-4-
As a result, Defendants conspired to hold a demonstration which was not reported to the chief of the competent police station.
B. Relevant legal principles
In a case where an outdoor assembly or demonstration was held beyond the degree of identity with the reported outdoor assembly or demonstration, it does not constitute a violation of Article 6(1) of the Assembly and Demonstration Act regarding a case where the outdoor assembly or demonstration was held without filing a report. However, in a situation where its identity is maintained, it constitutes “an act clearly deviating from the scope of the reported purpose, date, time, place, method, etc.” under Article 16(4)3 of the Assembly and Demonstration Act. In this case, even if the organizer who reported the outdoor assembly or demonstration deviates from the scope of the reported purpose, date, time, place, method, etc., and without permission, it does not constitute an act of holding an outdoor assembly or demonstration without permission, since the organizer who reported the outdoor assembly or demonstration went beyond the scope of the reported purpose, time, place, and method, etc., and even if the organizer led by the organizer or participating group, the reported outdoor assembly or demonstration took place at first or first, it may be deemed that the reported outdoor assembly or demonstration was replaced with the organizer or participating group, etc., and the reported outdoor assembly or demonstration was held under the pretext of 208.
C. Determination
In light of the following circumstances acknowledged by the evidence duly adopted and examined by the court, the evidence submitted by the prosecutor alone cannot be deemed as having been proven without reasonable doubt that the Defendants held a demonstration without a prior report or held a demonstration beyond the recognition of identity with the prior report by the chief of the competent police station.
1) On July 22, 2014, the National Countermeasure Meeting held by the Defendants as the Chairman of the Joint Operation Committee was submitted to the Seoul Local Police Agency a report on outdoor assembly and demonstration (the Investigation Record No. 749 of the Investigation Record) stating, under the name of Non-Indicted 137, that “The Defendant’s participation of 8,000 staff members, etc. from July 24, 2014 to July 24, 2014 by the staff members of the Seoul Local Police Agency (8,00 staff members, etc. of the Sewol ferry) shall be called for the enactment of the Special Act on the Sewol ferry 200 staff members, etc. from July 24, 2014 to July 23:59.
2) On July 24, 2014, an outdoor assembly was held for the purpose of reporting under the initiative of the National Countermeasure Council from around 20:30, and even after around 22:30, participants took part in the demonstration with the appearance of the “Guarantee of the Truth of the Sewol Ferry” or the “Enactment of the Special Act on the Sewol Ferry”, and there is no circumstance that the organizer, participating group, etc. was changed during the middle.
2. The Defendants’ violation of the Assembly and Demonstration Act following the failure to comply with the dispersion order on July 24, 2014
A. Summary of the facts charged
The Defendants were requested to voluntarily dissolve on the grounds of a failure to report, etc., by occupying the same route as that set forth in Article 1(a) on July 24, 2015, with five thousand or more participants in other assemblies, on July 22:30, 2015, in front of the Seoul Central Government Office located in Jung-gu, Seoul, by causing direct and apparent risks to others’ legal interests or public peace and order, resulting in a direct and obvious danger to others’ legal interests or public peace and order.
However, although the participants, including the Defendants, did not comply with the request for voluntary dispersion, and the director of the security division of the Seodaemun Police Station issued the first dispersion order around 23:00 on the same day, around 23:06 on the same day, the second dispersion order at around 23:15 on the same day, the third dispersion order at around 23:25 on the same day, the Defendants did not immediately dissolve.
In addition, as described in subparagraph 1-A(a) above, the Defendants continued to move ahead of the direction of the front of the building in the light of the ethic sign language in light of at least 23:40 on the same day with 1,200 participants in an assembly as described in the foregoing paragraph, and the head of the ethic police station who has been authorized by the head of the ethic police station at the time of the assembly continuously requested voluntary dispersion. On July 25, 2015, the head of the ethic police station at around 00:48, the first dispersion order at around 00:52 on the same day, the second dispersion order at around 00:57 on the same day, the third dispersion order at around 01:20 on the same day, the fourth dispersion order at around 01:20 on the same day, and the fifth dispersion order at around 01:29
Accordingly, the Defendants refused to comply with the legitimate dispersion order by the chief of the police station.
B. Relevant legal principles
Article 20(1) of the Assembly and Demonstration Act provides that “the head of the competent police authority may demand voluntary dispersion of any of the following assemblies or demonstrations within a considerable time and order dispersion if such demand is not complied with.” Article 20(2) provides that “All participants shall immediately dissolve when an assembly or demonstration is ordered to do so under paragraph (1).” As a matter of interpretation of the relevant provision, when the head of the competent police authority issues the dispersion order, he/she must specifically notify whether the cause for dissolution falls under any of the subparagraphs of Article 20(1) of the Assembly and Demonstration Act (see Supreme Court Decision 2011Do7193, Feb. 9, 2012). Therefore, in cases where the head of the competent police authority did not give specific notice of the cause for dissolution while issuing the dispersion order or ordered dispersion while notifying a justifiable cause, even if not complying with such dispersion order, it cannot be said that Article 20(2) of the Assembly and Demonstration Act has been violated (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2013Do4127, Mar. 13, 2014).
C. Determination
According to the evidence duly adopted and examined by the court, any demonstration which was conducted on July 24, 2014 is clearly going beyond the scope of the purpose, date, time, place, method, etc. of the prior report, and cannot be deemed to have been conducted beyond the degree of recognition identical to the prior report. The evidence submitted by the prosecutor alone is only acknowledged as having ordered dispersion on the ground of Article 20(1)2 of the Assembly and Demonstration Act (unreported report) and it cannot be deemed as having been proven without reasonable doubt by the chief of the competent police station having ordered dispersion by notifying the Defendants of justifiable cause. Therefore, even if the aforementioned demonstration was prohibited or held without the report, it cannot be deemed that the Defendants’ failure to comply with such order constitutes a violation of the Assembly and Demonstration Act pursuant to Article 20(1)2 of the Assembly and Demonstration Act.
3. Conclusion
Therefore, since the facts charged in this part of the facts charged constitute a case where there is no proof of crime, it should be pronounced not guilty pursuant to the latter part of Article 325 of the Criminal Procedure Act. However, as long as it is found that the violation of the Act on Assembly and Demonstration following the hosting of Unreported Demonstration on July 24, 2014, which is the preliminary facts charged, was convicted of violating the Act on Assembly and Demonstration due to the

2. Relevant legal principles
The withdrawal of the indictment by the method of the modification of indictment can be limited to some of the facts charged within the extent that the identity of the indictment is recognized. As such, where several facts charged in the indictment are not identical and there are substantive concurrent relationships with each other, it is not the method of the modification of indictment in order to withdraw part of the indictment, but the procedure for partial cancellation of the indictment must be followed. In a case where there is a public prosecutor’s request for the whole withdrawal of one of the facts charged in substantive concurrent relations or for the whole exclusion of the defendant from the indictment subject to the indictment, if it is obvious that this is the purpose of revoking the indictment, even if this does not correspond to the application for cancellation of the indictment, it shall be deemed as cancellation of the indictment (see Supreme Court Decision 8Do67, Mar. 22, 198)
3. Determination
According to the records, the following facts are acknowledged. In other words, when the prosecutor applied for the amendment of the Act as of December 16, 2015, the prosecutor withdrawn the relevant facts charged as to the injury caused by the special obstruction of performance of official duties and the substantial concurrent crimes against the victims as stated in Article 5-D of the 2015 Ma690. This court approved the prosecutor's application for the amendment of the Act on the 5th public trial of this case. On the other hand, the prosecutor applied for the amendment of the Act on the 5th public trial of this case, which is related to the damage of the special public goods as stated in Article 5-D of the 2015 Ma690. The court withdrawn the relevant facts charged, and the court approved the amendment of the Act on the 6th public trial of this case as of December 16, 2015, the prosecutor stated that the withdrawal of the amendment of the Act constitutes cancellation of the indictment in accordance with the judgment on the withdrawal of the amendment of the Act on the 6th public trial of this case.
Thus, this part of the facts charged constitutes the cancellation of a public prosecution, and thus, this part of the public prosecution is dismissed under Article 328(1)1 of the Criminal Procedure Act.

Judges Dak-si (Presiding Judge)
(1) The facts charged in the instant case indicate that “the Defendants conspired to hold an assembly which is not reported to the chief of the competent police station,” but in light of the content of the facts charged and the intent of the prosecution as indicated in the prosecution on the date of the trial (the indictment of all parts of the outdoor assembly and demonstration) in this part of the facts charged, each of the above facts charged in the instant case is apparent that it is a clerical error in the statement that “unreported assembly and demonstration,” and “the Defendants conspired to hold an outdoor assembly and demonstration which are not reported to the chief of the competent police station,” thereby correcting it ex officio to the extent that it does not disadvantage the Defendant’s right to defense. The following facts are also identical.
In light of the content of the facts charged and the purport of prosecution (the indictment only on the part after the commencement of the indictment) revealed by the prosecution on the date of the prosecution, each of the above facts charged in the instant case clearly stated that “unreported demonstration” and “the Defendant,” under the title of the organizer of the unreported assembly, was clearly erroneous and corrected ex officio to the extent that it does not disadvantage the Defendant’s defense right.
3) Although the facts charged in the instant case are indicated as “72 vehicles for police bus,” according to the evidence of each judgment, the number of Nos. 47 and 47 of the annexed crime sight table (2) overlaps with 48, and the number Nos. 67 and 67 are deemed to overlap with 64 and they are obviously clerical errors, they are corrected to “70 vehicles for police bus,” and the annexed crime sight table (2) Nos. 47 and 67 were deleted.
(4) The facts charged in the instant case clearly indicate that “the Defendants conspired to hold an assembly not reported to the chief of the competent police station,” but in light of the content of the facts charged and the intent of the prosecution on the date of the trial (the indictment of a part after around 22:30 that started), each of the above facts charged in the instant case is a clerical error in the statement that “unreported demonstration” and “the Defendants conspired to hold a demonstration not reported to the chief of the competent police station,” and thus, corrected it ex officio to the extent that it does not disadvantage the Defendant’s defense right.
