1. Details of the disposition;

A. On June 2, 2014, the Plaintiff, as a Egypt nationality, entered the Republic of Korea with tourism Tong (B-2) sojourn status on June 2, 2014, and applied for refugee status to the Defendant on June 29, 2017.

C. The Plaintiff filed an objection with the Minister of Justice on August 10, 2017, but the said objection was dismissed on the same ground as December 7, 2017.

[Reasons for Recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap 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 threatened by a threat from the family members of a female-friendly Gu who oppose marriage with female-friendly families.

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. The term “refugee” refers to a foreigner who is unable or does not want to be protected by the country of nationality due to well-founded fear to recognize that he/she may be injured on the grounds of race, religion, nationality, status as a member of a particular social group, or political opinion, or a stateless foreigner who, owing to such fear, is unable to return to 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. However, even if the Plaintiff’s assertion is acknowledged, the threat of the Plaintiff’s assertion does not constitute persecution on the ground of “a race, religion, nationality, status as a member of a specific social group or political opinion,” and is merely a private dispute.
