[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] The Sarang Jeil Church strongly opposed the re-incarceration of Pastor Jeon Kwang-hoon due to the revocation of his bail, stating, "It has been proven once again that the Republic of Korea has been seriously damaged."

On the morning of the 8th, the Sarang Jeil Church and the People's Litigation legal team held a joint press conference with the Free North Korea Movement Alliance in front of Sarang Jeil Church in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, stating, "While it is regrettable that the judiciary could not stand firm against the intimidation of political power, what is even more outrageous is the desecration of constitutional spirit shown by President Moon Jae-in, the Prime Minister, and Democratic Party lawmakers," they said.

The legal team claimed, "Starting with the president, who is a former human rights lawyer, it is unclear what he was so afraid and anxious about, but he repeatedly appeared in public to directly target Pastor Jeon Kwang-hoon, expressing anger and strongly pressuring the court. Prime Minister Jeong Sye-kyun and certain Democratic Party lawmakers followed closely behind, publicly issuing orders and demands to the court as if desperate."

They added, "The legal team will continue to expose and inform the public about the Moon Jae-in administration's four major deceptive acts regarding COVID-19, which have made the entire media and even the deceived public look like fools, as if watching the 'Emperor's New Clothes' with daily fluctuations in new confirmed cases."

The legal team also criticized Jung Eun-kyung, head of the Central Disease Control Headquarters. They said, "Because they indiscriminately conducted many tests to suppress churches and gatherings in Gwanghwamun, the number of confirmed cases increased, leading to declarations of 'extreme emergency,' 'shortage of medical staff,' and calls for 'return to duty.' We hope that, as a quarantine expert, she will provide core statistics and information that reflect the whole picture, as well as standards established and implemented by countries worldwide and announcements recognized by global experts."

At the press conference, Park Sang-hak, representative of the Free North Korea Movement Alliance, also attended. Representative Park stated, "More than 1,000 defectors participated in the August 15 rally, but not a single person tested positive," and added, "Tomorrow, together with lawyer Kang Yeon-jae, we will send letters to U.S. President Trump and the UN Secretary-General to protest the detention of patriot Pastor Jeon Kwang-hoon and request support."
