[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters (Jeju) Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] The Seogwipo Maritime Police Station announced on the 12th that it conducted human rights education to prevent human rights violations for investigative police officers.

The Seogwipo Maritime Police invited a human rights instructor appointed by the National Human Rights Commission to conduct human rights education under the theme of 'Enhancing Human Rights Sensitivity of Police Officers' for about 20 investigative police officers.

During the education, the following were explained in detail: ▲ cases of human rights violations that may occur during investigations, such as human rights violations in the investigation process ▲ understanding and protection measures for socially vulnerable groups such as maritime workers, the elderly, and women ▲ aspects of human rights that can be overlooked during coercive investigation procedures such as arrest, detention, and search and seizure.

A Seogwipo Maritime Police official stated, “As human rights violation issues have recently emerged as a social issue, we will ensure that cases of human rights violation do not occur by fostering human rights awareness among maritime police officers and strengthening investigative expertise.”
