The police chief said, "It's not a hard-line suppression of the assembly...105 police injuries"

In a press conference today (11th), National Police Agency Commissioner Jo Ji-ho refuted allegations that there was a hard-line police crackdown at a rally of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions over the weekend.

Cho added that he ordered the dissolution three times and that trying to open a minimum passage to open a path for citizens cannot be called a hard-line crackdown.

In response to the criticism that the injured were reported, the police officer said 105 people were injured, and explained that there were some fractured people and others with ruptured ligaments.

Police arrested 11 participants on charges of assaulting police officers or refusing to comply with the order of dissolution at the first general assembly of the resignation of the Yoon Suk Yeol regime hosted by the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions on the 9th.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said the rally turned into an illegal rally and said it would strictly investigate those arrested at the scene by applying for an arrest warrant.
