The court has decided to dismiss the case of a quasi-appeal filed by former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun to cancel the detention.
The Seoul Central District Court said today (7th) that former Minister Kim's quasi-appeal is dismissed because it is not legal or has no reason because it is not profitable.
The court explained that the act of destroying evidence can also occur through interviews or correspondence by family members or relatives.
He added that unrestricted interviews and correspondence are also likely to undermine the safety and order of detention facilities.
He also stressed that it is difficult to say that the prosecution violated the essential content of basic rights, considering that each prosecutor's disposition, including the ban on interviews with former Minister Kim, was made within a short period of investigation from the time of arrest.
Earlier, the prosecution banned the public from interviewing and receiving letters to former Minister Kim, who was arrested on charges of rebellion after the emergency martial law incident.
