2. The Plaintiff’s assertion caused a traffic accident in Egypt, and the victim of the traffic accident was placed in a situation where the victim is unable to move, and the victim’s family intends to multiple families of the Plaintiff.

Accordingly, the plaintiff left the Egypt to protect his/her life and applied for refugee status of this case. However, when the plaintiff returned to Egypt, he/she may be killed at any time to the family of the victim of the traffic accident.

Therefore, the instant disposition that did not recognize the Plaintiff as a refugee should be revoked in an unlawful manner.

3. In full view of the provisions of Article 1 and Article 2 subparag. 1 of the former Refugee Act, Article 1 of the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees, and Article 1 of the 1967 Protocol on the Status of Refugees, “persecution” which serves as the requirement for recognition of refugee status should be limited to “a race, religion, nationality, status as a member of a specific social group, or political opinion.”

The Plaintiff’s assertion of “ multiple threats to the victims of traffic accidents” is on the ground of “a race, religion, nationality, status as a member of a specific social group, or political opinion,” which is the cause of persecution that serves as a requirement for recognition of refugee status by itself.
