1. Details of the disposition;

A. The Plaintiff, a Egypt nationality, entered the Republic of Korea on December 27, 2015, and applied for refugee status to the Defendant on January 20, 2016.

B. On January 27, 2016, the Defendant rendered a decision on the recognition of refugee status (hereinafter “instant disposition”) to the Plaintiff on the ground that the Plaintiff’s assertion does not constitute a case of “a well-founded fear that would be subject to persecution” as a requirement of refugee under Article 1 of the Convention on the Status of Refugees and Article 1 of the Protocol on the Status of Refugees.

C. The Plaintiff filed an objection with the Minister of Justice on March 3, 2016, but the said objection was dismissed on September 9, 2016.

[Reasons for Recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap 1, 2, 3 evidence, Eul 1 and 2 evidence, and the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The Plaintiff’s assertion is a threat to the Muslim group by engaging in the activities of opposing the Muslim group with his/her friendship group.

Therefore, the defendant's disposition of this case which did not recognize the plaintiff as a refugee despite high possibility that the plaintiff would be subject to gambling when he returns to the country of nationality is illegal.

B. 1) The term “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 foreigner who is not able to return to, or does not want to return to, the country of his/her residence in the Republic of Korea due to such fear (Article 2 Subparag. 1) (Article 2 Subparag. 2 of the Refugee Act). The term “persecution” which serves as a requirement for refugee recognition refers to “any act causing serious infringement or discrimination against essential human dignity, including threats to life, body, or freedom,” and there is a sufficient ground for such persecution.
