1. Details of the disposition;

A. On September 10, 2013, the Plaintiff, a foreigner of Egypt nationality, entered into the Republic of Korea as a short-term visit (B-2) sojourn status and stayed, and applied for refugee status to the Defendant on November 2, 2015.

B. On November 12, 2015, the Defendant rendered a decision to recognize refugee status (hereinafter the instant disposition) on the ground that the Plaintiff’s assertion does not constitute a case where there is a well-founded fear that the Plaintiff would be subject to persecution as a refugee under Article 1 of the Convention on the Status of Refugees and Article 1 of the Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees.

[Reasons for Recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap 1, 2, Eul 1, 2, the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The Plaintiff’s assertion was not a member of the Unslive Forest Zone, but has participated in a semi-government demonstration several times. As such, the Defendant’s disposition of this case, which did not recognize the Plaintiff as a refugee, was unlawful even if the Plaintiff’s return to Egypt was highly likely to be persecution.

(b) The definitions of terms used in this Act shall be as follows:

1. The term "refugee" means a foreigner who is unable or does not want to be protected from the country of his/her nationality due to well-founded fear that he/she may be injured on the grounds of race, religion, nationality, status as a member of a specific social group, or political opinion, or a stateless foreigner who, owing 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 (hereinafter referred to as "state of his/her nationality");

C. “persecution” that serves as a requirement for recognition of refugee status 1 refers to “an act causing serious infringement or discrimination against essential human dignity, including threats to life, body, or freedom,” and thus, an applicant for recognition of refugee status is filed.
