2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The gist of the Plaintiff’s assertion is that the Plaintiff is a party supporter B, and the application for recognition of refugee status was made because the Plaintiff could not return to the Republic of Pakistan by threatening from the party supporter C. The instant disposition that did not recognize the Plaintiff as a refugee is unlawful.

B. Determination 1) “Refugee” means a foreigner who is unable or does not want to be protected due to well-founded fear that he/she may be harmed on the grounds of race, religion, nationality, status as a member of a specific social group, or political opinion, or a stateless foreigner who, due 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 (Article 2 subparag. 1 of the Refugee Act. In such cases, “persecution” which is a requirement for recognition of refugee status may be deemed as “an act causing serious infringement or discrimination against essential human dignity, including threats to life, body, or freedom,” and a foreigner who applies for recognition of refugee status shall bear the burden of proving that there is “comfortablely-founded fear.”
