[On-site video+] "CCTV release of martial law troops from the National Assembly Speaker's official residence"..."The Ministry of National Defense should clarify."

[Anchor]
National Assembly Secretary-General Kim Min-ki will hold a press conference shortly, and release CCTV footage showing martial law troops dispatched to the National Assembly Speaker's official residence when martial law was declared on the 3rd.

It seems that there was a situation in which he attempted to arrest Chairman Woo Won-sik.

I'll try to connect to the site.

[Kim Min Gi / Secretary-General of the National Assembly]
It was withdrawn only after the cabinet meeting decided to lift the emergency martial law. This is a critical issue regarding the personal safety of the Speaker of the National Assembly, the head of the legislature, and we decided that it is necessary to confirm the facts as the Secretary-General of the National Assembly, who is responsible for the safety of the Speaker of the National Assembly. In response, we would like to investigate the CCTV footage installed at the National Assembly Speaker's official residence to check the related video and urge the Ministry of National Defense to clarify the suspicions raised at the same time as explaining in detail to the public. Let's look at the CCTV footage first. This is the first video. This is a view of martial law troops walking outside the wall of the National Assembly Speaker's official residence in Hannam-dong at 01:42 on December 4, after the National Assembly passed a resolution calling for the lifting of emergency martial law.

At 01:50, martial law troops are gathered at the front gate of the National Assembly Speaker's official residence. After that, you can see how you maintain a certain distance in front of the main entrance and start full-scale monitoring and control.

Earlier, you saw martial law soldiers hanging around the National Assembly Speaker's official residence for the first time. This video is about 8 minutes later. You are watching CCTV footage of martial law soldiers entering the diplomatic mission once again from 1:50 p.m.

If you look back there, you can see people in the alley, and they are starting to control and monitor them in earnest while maintaining a certain distance, he said.

Let's take a look at the scene.

[Kim Min Gi / Secretary-General of the National Assembly]
Since it is a serious issue regarding the safety of the speaker of the National Assembly, we are now releasing CCTV footage, explaining the background of releasing CCTV footage like this. December 4th. It's been since the martial law lifting agenda was voted on. Martial law was lifted, and since then, martial law forces have been lining up around the National Assembly Speaker's official residence. You are also monitoring and controlling, and you are seeing these images through the CCTV screen at the scene.

The screen you see shows soldiers gathered in front of the National Assembly speaker's official residence after martial law was lifted. In this regard, since it is a serious issue regarding the chairman of the National Assembly, we are conducting a thorough investigation, disclosing it to the public, and explaining it like this.

Martial law forces are decreasing, so we're moving around, and now we're in an area that looks like a wall...

[Kim Min Gi / Secretary-General of the National Assembly]
It is the appearance of martial law forces withdrawing only 15 minutes after the emergency martial law was lifted at the Cabinet meeting.

The right side of the screen you see now is the wall. Martial law soldiers next to the wall are on December 4th at 4:45 p.m. It appears that they are withdrawing 15 minutes after the emergency martial law is lifted. What I showed you before...

[Kim Min Gi / Secretary-General of the National Assembly]
The video clearly confirms the deployment of martial law forces around the National Assembly speaker's official residence. Clear fact-finding is needed on the arrest of the speaker of the National Assembly and the situation of the second martial law raised by the media. As the Secretary-General of the National Assembly, I urge the Ministry of Defense to clarify the following three points. First, why did you put troops into the parliament speaker's mission in defiance of the National Assembly's call for lifting emergency martial law?

As you can see in the video, 13 soldiers gathered at the front gate of the National Assembly Speaker's official residence at 01:50. As many as 50 minutes have passed since 01 o'clock, when the National Assembly passed a resolution calling for the lifting of emergency martial law. Martial law forces stayed around the mission until 04:45 past 04:30 when emergency martial law was officially lifted through a Cabinet meeting. We urge the Ministry of National Defense to explain whether there was an order to arrest the chairman of the National Assembly who may return to the diplomatic mission after the decision to lift martial law and whether there was an intention of a second martial law.

Second, what is the identity of the troops who were dispatched to the mission and whose orders did they receive? In the CCTV footage, 11 soldiers and two unidentified people dressed in plain clothes appear. Two men in plain clothes in padded jackets appear to lead martial law forces. Whether you are a soldier belonging to the counterintelligence command or the intelligence command, you must clarify your affiliation and identity. The Speaker had asked the Ministry of Defence for affiliation, official names, commanders and chain of command for all 13 days appearing in CCTV footage, including them. There will have to be a quick and reasonable explanation from the Ministry of Defense.

Third, what was the level of troops and armament that were dispatched around the chairman's mission on the day? In addition to the troops identified by CCTV footage held by the National Assembly, the Ministry of National Defense is asked to disclose the status of the dispatch, the purpose of the dispatch, and the level of armament of the military units deployed around the mission on the same day.

Finally, I ask the investigative authorities. CCTV footage released today confirmed that troops were dispatched to the National Assembly speaker's official residence. We urge the investigation authorities to conduct a quick and thorough investigation into various suspicions raised. That's it. Thank you.
