Chu Mi-ae: "The 'Mobile Phone Password Disclosure Law' is a Human Rights Violation"... Human Rights Commission Begins Investigation

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] The National Human Rights Commission received a petition on the 17th claiming that the bill related to the "forced unlocking of suspects' mobile phone passwords," which Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae is promoting, constitutes a human rights violation, and has begun an investigation.

According to the Human Rights Commission and the Action Alliance for the Restoration of the Rule of Law (Beopse-ryeon), the Human Rights Commission assigned an investigator to the petition filed by Beopse-ryeon against Minister Chu on the 13th.

Previously, Beopse-ryeon submitted a petition stating that the bill infringes on constitutional fundamental rights and requested that "the Human Rights Commission withdraw the directive to Minister Chu to enact a law forcing suspects to disclose their mobile phone passwords and recommend human rights education to prevent recurrence."
