[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The Liberty Korea Party has criticized Pastor Jeon Gwang-hoon, chairman of the Christian Council of Korea, who has had an arrest warrant requested on charges of leading a violent rally, calling it 'suppression of patriotic movements.'

Jeon Hee-kyung, spokesperson for the Liberty Korea Party, stated in a commentary on the 2nd, "Requesting an arrest warrant for Pastor Jeon on charges of leading a violent rally is a clear suppression of patriotic movements. It is an excessive attempt to suppress the outcry of public sentiment that resonated through the October protests."

Spokesperson Jeon emphasized, "If Pastor Jeon and the patriotic movement are guilty, it is the guilt of not being able to ignore the collapsing country." She added, "Instead of listening to the anger and cries of the people, how can the regime that tries to gag the mouths of citizens who worry about the country talk about democracy and human rights?"

She continued, "As the Moon Jae-in administration's oppression intensifies, the free right-wing will not succumb but will rise more firmly and resolutely through patriotic movements," adding, "We will join hands with everyone who protects freedom and fight against the tyranny of the Moon Jae-in administration."

Meanwhile, Pastor Jeon is undergoing a warrant review hearing from the morning of the same day on charges of leading illegal violent acts at the rally held by the National Struggle Headquarters for the Resignation of Moon Jae-in (National Struggle Headquarters) at Gwanghwamun on National Foundation Day last October.
