2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The gist of the Plaintiff’s assertion was as follows: (a) the Plaintiff operated a siren in his own country; (b) the Plaintiff was threatened with the death of the Plaintiff unless the Plaintiff donated the election fund to the president of the competitor of the competitor that supported the Allied National Party.

In the event that the plaintiff returns to his own country, there is a risk of being killed from the persons who support the sonship of the United States and the United States.

Nevertheless, the instant disposition that did not recognize the Plaintiff as a refugee is unlawful.

B. In full view of the provisions of Article 2 subparag. 1 and Article 18 of the Refugee Act, Article 1 of the Refugee Convention, and Article 1 of the Refugee Protocol, foreigners in the Republic of Korea who are unable to be protected by the country of nationality or who do not want to be protected by the country of nationality due to well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, should be recognized as refugee. “persecution” which is a requirement for recognition of refugee refers to “an act causing serious infringement or discrimination against essential human dignity, including threats to life, body or freedom,” and thus, a foreigner applying for recognition of refugee status.
