Justice Minister Chun Jung-bae Attends Legislation-Judiciary Committee

Justice Minister Chun Jung-bae attended the National Assembly’s Legislation-Judiciary Committee meeting yesterday afternoon and is looking at data for the questions and answers. His remark during the 15th assembly as an assemblyman, claiming abrogation of the justice minister’s right to command the prosecution, was called into question at the committee. The opposition party members are criticizing this, saying that his exercise of that right has changed after being appointed minister.
