D. Determination
(i) the requirements and burden of proof of refugee;
In full view of the provisions of Article 1 of the Convention on the Status of Refugees and Article 1 of the Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, the Minister of Justice shall recognize a foreigner in the Republic of Korea who is unable to be protected or does not want to be protected of the country of his/her nationality due to a well-founded fear of persecution on the grounds of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, as a refugee under the Refugee Convention. In this case, the term “persecution” which is a requirement for recognition of refugee status can be deemed as “an act causing serious infringement or discrimination on the essential human dignity, including threats to life, body or freedom,” and such “an act of causing serious infringement or discrimination on the fundamental human dignity.” However, considering the special circumstances of the refugee, the foreigner who files an application for recognition of refugee status shall prove the consistency and persuasive nature of his/her statement, and the period of application for refugee status, circumstances leading to entry, subjective fear of the country of his/her nationality, degree of fear, the applicant’s overall declaration of credibility in light of 2070 years, etc.
2) Whether there exists a well-founded fear for the Plaintiff to be stuffed
Considering the following circumstances that can be seen in light of the aforementioned legal principles, it is reasonable to view that the Plaintiff constitutes a refugee under Article 2 subparag. 1 of the Refugee Act, since it is determined that Egypt has a well-founded fear to be harmed solely on the ground that the Egypt government, etc. was same-sexd in Egypt.
A) On January 7, 2015, according to the Plaintiff’s statement at the time of the interview with the Plaintiff at the Seoul Immigration Office and the Plaintiff’s statement at the trial court at the time of the interview with the Plaintiff, etc., the Plaintiff made a consistent statement to a certain extent as to how he/she became aware of his/her sexual identity, how he/she became aware of his/her sexual identity, how he/she became active before entering the Republic of Korea, how he/she became subject to sanctions against the same-sexs, and how he/she became aware of his/her sanctions against the same-sexs, correspond to the objective situation of the Egypt. Furthermore, considering the Plaintiff’s attitude of statement at the trial court at the time of Egypt’s investigation, even if the Plaintiff’s statement at the time of the interview with the time of the Plaintiff’s sexual relation, etc., and the time of the Plaintiff’s sexual relation at the above trial court at the above trial court, the Plaintiff’s statement as a whole can be recognized as credibility of the Plaintiff’s statement as a whole.
B) According to the circumstances of the same-sexs in Egypt as seen earlier, if it is revealed that they are the same-sexs, the risk of gambling seems to be high, and in light of the purport of the Convention on the Status of Refugees seeking to guarantee a wide range of exercise of the basic rights and freedom of refugees, if their sexual identity is not expressed externally due to such concerns, it may be viewed as a kind of gambling itself.
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is accepted on the grounds of its reasoning, and the judgment of the court of first instance is unfair on the grounds of its conclusion, and it is so decided as per Disposition by cancelling it and accepting the plaintiff's claim.

Judges Yoon Sung-won (Presiding Judge)
1) According to the statements in Gap evidence No. 3, the court seems to have acquitted them, and it is difficult for the above statements to find out the specific reasons, but at least it seems that the above judgment did not reflect the liquor atmosphere of Egypt.
2) Considering the fact that 5 to 7 suicide, which the Plaintiff stated in the first instance court at the time of the Plaintiff’s question at the time of the Plaintiff’s question, appears to have a sexual relationship within a normal meaning, the above statement’s sexual relationship may not be a sexual relationship within a normal meaning. The above statement is a suspicion that the Plaintiff did not understand properly the Plaintiff’s question during the interpretation process.
