Gwangju City to Host '2nd Term Wednesday Human Rights Lecture' on YouTube on the 31st

Attorney Park Jun-young Invited for Lecture on "Law and the Wronged"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 26th that it will hold the 2nd term Wednesday Human Rights Lecture at 3 p.m. on the 31st on the YouTube channel ‘Hello Gwangju’.

This lecture will be conducted under the theme ‘Wronged People and the Law’ by inviting attorney Park Jun-young, a specialist in retrials.

Attorney Park Jun-young has been in charge of retrials of cases that were almost forgotten in our memory, such as the ‘Iksan Yakchon Five-way Intersection Taxi Driver Murder Case,’ the ‘Samrye Nara Supermarket Robbery and Manslaughter Case,’ and the ‘8th Hwaseong Serial Murder Case.’

He will vividly share stories of socially vulnerable people who suffered irreversible judicial damage by being wrongfully accused and imprisoned due to illegal investigations, providing an opportunity to reflect on justice and human rights in our society.

Attorney Park was also the real-life inspiration for the movie ‘Re-trial’ and the drama ‘Fly, Gaechonyong,’ and has appeared on numerous broadcasts such as tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block’ and JTBC’s ‘Different Class,’ engaging in various activities to realize social justice. His major publications include ‘Our Lawyer’ and ‘Delayed Justice.’

The Wednesday Human Rights Lecture has been operated since 2012 for employees of public institutions in Gwangju, including public corporations, public organizations, and autonomous districts.

This year, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the lectures have been shifted online and are produced and broadcast on YouTube so that citizens can also share and participate in the human rights lectures.

The upcoming schedule includes the 3rd term lecture by attorney Lee Eun-ui on ‘Secondary Harm Silencing Sexual Violence Victims,’ and the 4th term lecture by Professor Ha Jong-gang, head of the Labor Academy at Sungkonghoe University, on ‘Labor Rights in the Era of the 4th Industrial Revolution.’
