Refuse to touch the report. Punishment...Supreme Court "infringement of the right to refuse to state"

The Supreme Court ruled that prison inmates' refusal to stamp their hands on a punishment report containing unfavorable content is a fundamental right under the constitution and cannot be punished.

On the 25th of last month, the Supreme Court confirmed the original ruling in favor of the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed by prisoner A against the Daegu prison chief.

The Supreme Court ruled that the act of stamping on the report was a violation of the written violation, and that if the hand stamp and the report were combined to make a "statement," it violated the right to refuse to state statements under the constitution.

After making a fuss at the Daegu prison two years ago, A refused twice when the prison guard wrote a punishment report and asked A to stamp his hand.

The prison director filed a lawsuit on the 20th, saying that he refused to accept the report because he could not admit the contents of the report.

The first and second trials ruled to cancel the refusal to touch it as a reason for punishment, saying that it was too much to impose punishment on the 20th only for the initial disturbance, and the Supreme Court's judgment was the same.
