[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] The Open Democratic Party has raised the necessity for the Ministry of Justice to conduct direct inspections and order investigations related to the case of former Prime Minister Han Myeong-sook and others.

Choi Kang-wook, leader of the Open Democratic Party, stated at the Supreme Council meeting on the 22nd, "There are no sanctuaries in the corridors of power anymore. Vigilant citizens are watching the Prosecutor General closely," adding, "We must face the situation where truth and justice cannot be denied, shed the shell, and respond. If the boy who cried wolf-like tactics are repeated, the sovereign will no longer tolerate it."

He continued, "The order by Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol to have the head of the Human Rights Department at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office oversee the Human Rights Supervisory Office and the Inspection Division to conduct investigations violates the instructions of the Minister of Justice," and asserted, "Furthermore, the suspension of the prosecutor general who has been booked in connection with the Channel A political manipulation case is necessary. Also, inspections of the investigation team, including prosecutors involved in the Ulsan election interference fabrication attempt that drove prosecutor Baek Jae-young to death, can no longer be neglected."

He concluded, "The necessity for the Ministry of Justice's direct inspection and investigation orders regarding all these situations must be actively considered. We expect and urge the Minister of Justice to take follow-up measures and make decisive actions."
