[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] The Democratic Party of Korea will file an appeal against the prosecution's decision of non-indictment and suspension of indictment for the Liberty Korea Party lawmakers involved in the National Assembly fast-track (rapid processing agenda) clash incident on the 6th.

The Democratic Party plans to submit an appeal to the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office at 2 p.m. on the same day regarding 24 Liberty Korea Party lawmakers and 5 aides who were subject to non-indictment and suspension of indictment in connection with the fast-track clash incident.

The Democratic Party stated, "We are requesting a reinvestigation as the prosecution has decided on suspension of indictment or no charges against Liberty Korea Party lawmakers who allegedly obstructed the legitimate duties of Democratic Party officials attempting to submit the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Office (HOCI) Act in front of the National Assembly Secretariat from April 25 to 26 last year through acts of violence, and disrupted the Special Committee on Judicial Reform meetings (violations of the National Assembly Act, disturbance in the National Assembly chamber, obstruction of special official duties, etc.)."

Previously, the Justice Party also filed an appeal with the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office on the 20th of last month, opposing the non-indictment and suspension of indictment decisions for Liberty Korea Party lawmakers.
