[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] The Gwangju District Court forcibly transferred patients remaining in the nursing hospital within Jeonnam Textile after losing an eviction lawsuit.

On the 20th, the Gwangju District Court enforcement officers sequentially transferred 165 patients from Nursing Hospital A located on the Jeonnam Textile site in Buk-gu, Gwangju, to five nursing hospitals within Gwangju. Some patients refused transfer to other hospitals and returned home.

During the eviction enforcement, there was some resistance from hospital staff and some patient guardians, but the patient transfer proceeded without major conflict. More than 400 personnel, including security services, Jeonnam Textile representatives, medical workers, police, and firefighters, were mobilized for the forced eviction enforcement that day.

The court plans to continue the eviction enforcement for two more days to clear the hospital's internal fixtures and then close the facility.

Jeonnam Textile, promoting the sale of the Gwangju factory site located in Buk-gu, Gwangju, did not renew leases and demanded tenants vacate after the lease period ended in 2020.

However, the tenants refused to leave, and Jeonnam Textile, which filed the eviction lawsuit, won the case in April last year and requested the court to enforce forced demolition.
