Jung Woo-sung "Refugee forced recall is a decision to drive life to death"

Jung Woo-sung made the remarks at the 2018 Jeju IslandPorum special session People on the Road: Today and Tomorrow in the World Refugee Problem at the Jeju Island International Convention Center on the 26th.So far, we have been opposed to the forced recall of North Koreans who have escaped to a third country, Chung said. Telling the forced recall to the Yemen who have applied for Refugee can be a decision to drive their lives to death.The issue of accepting the Refugee is a problem that the Korean people have faced for the first time, so it is natural that discussions are needed, he said. But emotional expressions are concerned, beyond the nature of poorly-founded information or discussions.Some people say to me, Are you saying that Human rights of Refugee are more important than the human rights of the people of South Korea? Refugee is a person who has the right to be protected, he said, and neither of the human rights of his people nor their human rights can be prioritized.The problem of 500 Jeju Island Yemen Refugee is a fuse that reveals various social problems such as the environment in which mothers can not raise their children, the social deprivation that 2030 generations experience, and the anxiety about womens exposure to sex crimes, he said. The South Korean government should listen to the peoples stories and solve their anxiety.2018 Jeju IslandPorum People on the Road, Today and Tomorrow in World Refugee Problem
