Kang Jeong-hye, a non-standing member of the National Human Rights Commission of Korea (NHRCK), voluntarily withdrew the proposal concerning the so-called 'Guarantee of President Yoon Seok-yeol's Right to Defense.'
On the morning of the 17th, the NHRCK announced that Non-standing Member Kang submitted a withdrawal letter regarding the agenda titled '(Urgent) Recommendations for Overcoming the National Crisis Caused by the Declaration of Martial Law.'
The agenda included recommendations to the Constitutional Court and investigative agencies to "thoroughly guarantee President Yoon's right to defense in the impeachment trial," and to "investigate President Yoon without detention."
