Special Focus on Conscientious Objection in South Korea

Jung-min Choi

Only early in 2001 the concept of "objection to military service" became known to the Korean public. A current affairs magazine reported on a forum on the military service system, including the right to conscientious objection. It especially reported on the history of Jehovah's Witnesses CO. Since the formation of the Korean army, over 10,000 objectors (mostly Jehovah's Witnesses) have spent time behind bars. The public has treeted them as nonexistent.

Korea has long history of military dictatorships. Under the slogan "the richer the country, the better the living conditions of the people", governments made great efforts to boost economic growth, interested in nothing but the GNP. The military confrontation with North Korea was used to create obedience and unity. The core of Korean militarism was and is compulsory military service. Obviously, conscientious objection could not be accepted, and COs have been treated harshly.

The first stage of a CO movement

Back in 2001 it was a taboo to talk about issues such as the military system, soldiers' human rights, and conscientious objection. Frankly speaking, we too had doubts about our ability to work on such a controversial issue. As expected, one week after our forum Seoul Police started to investigate three antimilitarist websites which also provided information on evading military service. In response to this, several peace and human rights groups organised a symposium, and publised a report to dismantle the taboo, to bring into the open the issue of 50 years of imprisonment of conscientious objectors, and the right to conscientious objection.

Public sympathy has grown since. Increased awareness of the painful history of objectors and their families has played a role in this. In a poll conducted by a newspaper, more than 50% accepted the right to conscientious objection. The idea that it is possible to object to military service provoked a very important momentum in Korea, especially among university students and young activists who still have to serve in the military. With the spread of the idea, we received an increasing number of phone calls and emails requesting information on CO. In December 2001, a pacifist and buddhist, Oh Tae-yang, declared his conscientious objection, and turned CO into a political issue, linked to the relations between North and South Korea, and national security.

COs -- a threat to national security?

In 2002 several human rights groups formed "Korea Solidarity for Conscientious Objection" (KSCO), and a judge appealed to the Constitutional Court because he had doubts about the constitutionality of the present Military Service Law. Since Oh Tae-yang's CO declaration, political CO has increased. So far, a total of eigth people have declared their conscientious objection. When the university student Na Dong-hyuk declared his CO, 20 more students pledged to object to military service when they receive their call-up orders. KSCO receives an increasing number of requests from people considering conscientious objection, so we set up a regular meeting for young people who are worried about their situation. In winter 2002, we organised a "CO School", where we offered information and gave the opportunity to deepen the understanding of the CO issue.

With the spread of the CO movement in Korea, especially among young people affected by military service, the Korean government started to respond. The Ministry of Education served each university and college with guiding principles that block the spread of the CO movement, and the Ministry of Defense released a statement opposing the right to CO. Also, then-president Kim Dae-jung gave an address that he can't accept CO rights.

US attacks on Iraq, and...

The US attacks on Iraq had a huge impact on the Korean society. For the first time many people raised their voice against a war and for peace, in relation to a country other than Korea. Many peace activists went to Iraq to try to stop the war and to be a witness. When the issue of deployment of Korean troops came up, the antiwar movement got broader. Towards the end of the war, another CO, Kim Do-hyung, declared his objection. In a press conference he said that he feels sorrow when he sees the US attacks on Iraq. He said that the deployment of Korean troops made him determined to refuse military service, as he did not want to join an army involved in an unjust war.

Problems to be solved

Earlier this year, the group "People Sharing Conscience", which supports COs, changed its name to "World Without War". Some CO activists participated in the International CO Day training in Israel. In Korea we organised a peace camp for COs and antimilitarist activists. Though more or less inexperienced, this was the first time such a camp took place in Korea. A new documentary on conscientious objection was finally completed, and shown for the first time in public. We now expect it to tour Korea, and to be widely used. We plan the CO peace campaign on Koreas streets and prepare for "Prisoners for Peace Day" on December 1st.

It is a paradox that Korea, a country that has a long history of struggle for democracy, has only three years history of struggling for COs. There are only a few COs yet, and it may need a lot of time to generate public support. But it is obvious that the CO movement provides a new perspective for another world, and although it moves forward slowly, it does so with a lot of power.

Editorial

Prisoners for Peace Day 2003 focuses on the young movement of conscientious objectors in South Korea. Although conscientious objection in young in terms of a movement, the history of imprisonment of conscientious objectors--of Jehovah's Witnesses--goes back a long while. More than 10,000 Jehovah's Witnesses have been imprisoned in the last 50 years for their conscientious objection, mostly to three years imprisonment, and until recently often several times. Although the situation has improved, and sentences are now shorter, there are still more than 800 Jehovah's Witnesses in prison in South Korea. This issue of The Broken Rifle focuses on their fate, and on the younger political struggle of the South Korean conscientious objectors' movement. It is evident that this movement needs our support, to change the attitude towards militarism on the highly militarised Korean peninsula.

Changes in Korea's treatment of conscientious objectors

Jung-min Choi

It has now been 1 year and 8 months since an adjudication on the constitutionality of the current Military Service Act was filed in January, 2002. There has been no judgement made so far. President Roh Moo-Hyun responded positively on the revision of acts related to alternative service when he was a candidate for presidential election. However, his new government has not taken any concrete steps. In the South Korean National Assembly, several lawmakers had initiated to legislate an act for alternative service in early 2001, only to fail due to the strong opposition by conservative Christian groups. Since then, there have been no activities. The current situation for the revision of the Act for conscientious objectors in the areas of legislation, judicature and administration is at a standstill.

In the past Korean society, the punishment had been arbitrarily imposed on the objectors whenever a new administration took office. However, as the conscientious objection issue grows and develops to a serious movement, many changes are being made. The most obvious change has come in the area of punishment. The objectors had been sentenced to the full penalty of the law, with no exceptions (The full penalty for conscientious objection varied under each administration. The term had been 3 years since 1994). Presently, judges sentence to 1 year and 6 months. This can be regarded as the least penalty within the law because one is redrafted when he is sentenced with less than 1 year and 6 months according to the current military service act.

Another big change is that from July this year the objectors were allowed to have religious services inside the correctional facilities. Most South Korean objectors have a religious background and it is their main reason for objection. The Seoul government firmly stuck to the position that no religious services should be allowed in the correctional facilities because the reason for their crime lay in their religion.

These days, more and more cases of discharged servicemen refusing reserve military drills have been reported. However, their situation is worse than those of conscientious objectors. After discharge from service, one belongs to the reserve forces. If a reserve soldier refuses to be mustered for reserve drills, he either pays a fine of 5 million won (about 4,000 USD) or less, or gets sentenced to up to 3 years in jail, according to Article 15, Clause 4 of the Establishment of Homeland Reserve Forces Act. Even after this punishment, the duty of serving in the reserve forces is imposed repeatedly until the reserve service ends. It is a serious problem because of the repetition of punishment for the same case. The accumulated amount of fines can be too much for an objector to pay and thus it can threaten his life. Recently, there was a case of a reserve service objector who finished his two sentences, one 10 months and the other 8 months, but later was remustered for reserve drill because he did the two times seperately, which is a repeating vicious cycle.

Jehovah's Witnesses and conscientious objection in Korea

Young-il Hong

The history of conscientious objection on the Korean Peninsula dates back to 1939. As Japanese Jehovah's Witnesses who had refused military service began to be arrested on 21 June, the wave of arresting Jehovah's Witnesses began to sweep through Taiwan on 22 June and Korea on 29 June. As a result, 33 Jehovah's Witnesses were indicted in Korea. Most of the Jehovah's Witnesses working in Korea from 1939 to the end of the second world war were imprisoned on account of conscientious objection.

Shortly after the Korean Peninsula was divided into North and South, after the end of World War II, the Korean War broke out. It began on 25 June, 1950, and lasted for three years. During that time Jehovah's Witnesses refused the compulsory conscription for military service by both North Korea and South Korea as conscientious objectors (COs).

During the 1950s and 1960s, COs used to be sentenced to imprisonment from several months up to one year. One imprisonment could usually free them from being conscripted to military service. However, their criminal record made them suffer great social discriminations when finding a job.

The military government, which came to power on 16 May, 1961, began to put pressure on the Korean society. The Regional Reserve Forces, established on 27 December, 1961, began to be intensified. Ex-soldiers who had joined the Jehovah's Witnesses and became COs therefore received corporal punishment and fines. The heavy fines and repeated trials made it impossible for COs to live normal lives and even to earn a living.

The Supreme Court of South Korea ruled on conscientious objection on 22 July, 1969 saying: The so-called conscientious objection does not fall into the category of the freedom of conscience guaranteed under the Constitution Article 17

Entering into 1970s, the military government began to oppress COs in various ways, Jehovah's Witness youths were taken to military training camps by means of various illegal ways. Military training began at high schools in 1970. Jehovah's Witnesses, young students, refused the military training at school and were badly treated with beatings and other corporal punishments. They were forced to drop out of school. Social discrimination began to form. As oppression upon COs became brutal and social discrimination began to intensify in the 1970s, even partial objection to military service by some religions, accepting non-combatant service but refusing military service on Sabbath days, came to a full stop.

The Supreme Court has not recognized the conscientious objection of Jehovah's Witnesses since the 1960s. On 23 July, 1985, and 14 September, 1992, the court ruled against COs and the decisions repeat the same phrase as of 22 July, 1969. What is perplexing is that those decisions do not state why conscientious objection does not fall into the category of the freedom of religion and conscience.

In 1994, when the trend of the cold war eased and the term of military service of the Korean army was reduced from 30 months to 26 months, Article 44 of the Military Criminal Law, a basis for punishing conscientious objection, increased the maximum sentence for mutiny from two years to three years.

Despite the brutal treatment and increased sentence under the military governments, COs of Jehovah's Witnesses in Korea are on the rise (see graphic).

As democratisation develops in Korea, Koreans are coming to have more tolerant views of COs, which lead to the disappearance of the illegal compulsory conscription practices of the Military Manpower Administration since 2002 and has enabled COs who stand in civil courts to get a shorter sentence. Additionally, on 29 January, 2002, one incumbent judge appealed a case of conscientious objection to the Constitutional Court for review, upholding the claim of a defendant that the present military service law, which does not recognize conscientious objection, could be against the Constitution. Meanwhile, more than 10,000 Jehovah's Witnesses have been punished because of conscientious objection. The number of Jehovah's Witness COs in prison is 767, as of 15 September, 2003.

As South Korea has been implementing a strict military service law, conscientious objection has become the brand mark of Jehovah's Witnesses in Korea, since COs have hardly been found in other religious organisations. The other interesting feature is that the accumulative number of COs imprisoned is much higher than in any other country in the world.

The crisis on the Korean peninsula: background and issues

Sang Youl Sohn

Many people think that the crisis on the Korean peninsula started in the wake of North Korea's nuclear development. However, contrary to what is commonly known, it is right to think that the crisis initiated from the aggressive nuclear and military policies made by the US, and military approach to this by North Korea made the crisis more complicated.

It was around October 2002 when the nuclear issue came out in the Korean peninsular. At that time, the US special convoy to North Korea raised a suspicion about the nuclear development program when visiting the state. He announced that the north admitted the suspicion and the current crisis began. However, the US has never shown any solid proof about North Korea's nuclear development so far. Then, why, at this point of time, does the US want to create trouble with North Korea by raising the groundless suspicion?

Background

In order to understand the origin of the nuclear crisis on the Korean peninsula, above all, a closer look has to be taken at US nuclear policy. The US had established plans to actually use nuclear weapons on the peninsular since the Korean War, and deployed nuclear weapons in and around the peninsula. According to an estimation, it is known that about 700 nuclear weapons were deployed in South Korea during the 1970-80's.

The end of the cold war in the 90's brought a change on the Korean peninsula. The US deployed nuclear weapons on the peninsula started to be taken away. In 1991, 'the Declaration of Nuclear-Free Korean Peninsula' was adopted by the agreement of the two Korean governments. In 1992, North Korea concluded the safeguard agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA), and as a following step, an IAEA's nuclear investigation to North Korea was launched. However, a serious tensions arose between North Korea and the US over the issue of the scope and level of the nuclear investigation in the Fall of 1992. Under these circumstances, the US carried out the Team Spirit exercise (a joint military operation exercise between South Korea and the US), which had been canceled in the 90's. In protesting the exercise, North Korea withdrew from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). After the withdrawal the situation became worse and aggravated into a war between the two states. The Agreed Framework (Geneva Agreement) was signed in 1994. There were three major agreements:

North Korea would freeze nuclear facilities, both parties would move toward full normalisation of relations, and the US would provide North Korea with two light water reactors to solve electricity problems.

However, the US violated the Geneva agreement. Light water reactors were to be completed by 2003, but the construction was intentionally delayed. The promise of normalisation of relations was not kept. Above all, the US was supposed to guarantee North Korea not to use nuclear weapon against Pyongyang, but instead it continued to give military threats to North Korea. After 9/11 the Bush administration took a stronger position on the small country. Bush named North Korea as part of the axis of evil and said a pre-emptive attack against North Korea could possibly be made. The Bush administration even openly mentioned a regime change in North Korea.

In conclusion, the reason that the US raise groundless suspicions to instigate friction with North Korea at this time is the following: by raising a new suspicion on North Korea's nuclear development, the US would not have to deal with the criticism that they put aside the responsibility of fulfilling the Geneva agreements and the US claims that North Korea is responsible for unfulfilled agreements. Another reason is to realise more US interests on the Korean peninsula and East Asia. Mention about nuclear development is on the way, the North Korean administration took strong steps toward the US due to this security threat. However, it is clear that the militaristic approach by North Korea is also very dangerous.

Latest situation

Recently, there are many people who say that the US foreign policy toward North Korea put more emphasis on compromise and multilateralism, than faceoff and unilateralism. What they probably have in mind is the 6-party talks (South Korea, North Korea, the US, China, Japan and Russia), which opened in Beijing in August.

However, the real reason that the US participates in a mulitilateral framework such as the 6-party talks is to bring about aid from surrounding countries and put pressure on North Korea. Simultaneous solutions of nuclear issues and a security assurance for the North Korean society - a new and sincere approach to the problem - was presented through the 6-party talks. However, the US made no concession about its position. North Korea must give up its nuclear program first, and then the US will promise security for North Korea. What makes the matter worse is that the US continues to put military pressure on North Korea, which might incite the county. As soon as the 6-party talks ended, the US held the Prolifersation Security Initiative (PSI) conference in France in early September. 11 participants in the conference decided to have a joint military practice in mid-September. The PSI is a plan to strengthen searching and seizing of boats of the countries labeled as 'Axis of Evil' by the US. It is a well-known fact that North Korea was the target. The US also had the Stryker Brigade field drill, an exercise for faster military deployment, in South Korea over the last few months. A operation plan called 'O-plan' 5030 was recently opened to the public. This is a plot to induce to dismantle the North Korean system by tiring its military power.

Moreover, the US is bolstering up militarism in northeast Asia, finding an excuse in suspicious nuclear development by North Korea. This materialises in the form of a strengthened military alliance among South Korea, Japan and the US. As a result of this, Japan is expanding the scope of its Defence Forces, and trying to amend the peace constitution. South Korea is increasing the military budget by a large margin. Recently it is confirmed through media reports that South Korea is the second biggest military weapon import country. The Missile Defence system in northeast Asia strengthens the status of military alliance among the 3 countries in the region.

People's security

The crisis in the Korean peninsula will intensify unless the US foreign policy toward northeast Asia changes. People in both North and South Korea live in pain because of the crisis. Even if this crisis gets solved through the framework of the 6-party talks, it does not mean that people's security and peace is assured. People's grassroots campaigns and international solidarity to oppose war is the most secure way of making peace in northeast Asia.

Objectors' stories

Dong Hyuk Na

For 50 years, since the Korean War, about 10,000 COs have been imprisoned. Most of those COs were Jehovah's Witnesses. Not until the 21st century did COs who have ideological, political beliefs appear amid serious reflection on militarism and nationalism. The anti-war movement in Korea, which began after 11 September 2001, exerted a great influence on their conviction against war and for peace. I am one of those and the fourth objector for nonreligious reasons.

I have been deeply involved in the student movement, getting together with communists. My experiences as a student activist planted indignation toward the national power into my mind. However, I was not very sensitive about our internal militarism, because of the strong influence of the student movement which emphasizes a collective position. Exchanges with the three objectors before me changed my thought a lot and led me to decide to object to military service after serious self-examination.

I strongly believe that we can achieve peace by peaceful means, and that we have to overturn the warsystem for peace. I declared my objection in public on 12 of September last year, and was sentenced to one and a half years' imprisonment at the first trial. Now my case is still pending in court after my release on bail at the second trial.

At present I work for the CO group World Without War' (WWW) and join various actions for peace.

Chang-Sik Kim (aged 50)

In 1970 military training began in high schools across the nation under the military government. At that time Chang-Sik Kim, who was a Jehovah's Witness and high school student, refused the military training. He was forced to withdraw from school at the age of 17 in the same year.

Kim refused military service in 1974, and was sentenced to eight months in prison. On the very day he was released after having served the prison term, Kim was taken to the military training camp. He was forced to do weonsanpokgyeok' (maintaining one's body in an oval stance with his forehead and legs pushing the ground and with his hands holding each other around his back). He was beaten 50 strokes, sometimes even 150 strokes, a day.

After being brutally treated for 90 days, he was sentenced to three years in prison and he was transferred to the military prison. When he was beaten with his fists pushing the red bricks, the joints of his hands were often all skinned and his hands were bleeding.

Thus, Chang-Sik Kim was one of the many conscientious objectors who suffered brutal treatment and pain from soldiers who were biased toward patriotism.

Chun-Guk Jeong

(aged 55, Geumsan-gun, Chungcheongnam-do Province)

Chun-Guk Jeong, a Jehovah's Witness, refused military service in 1969 when he was 21 and was sentenced to 10 months in prison on the charge of evading military service.

He served that prison term, and again objected to military service in 1976 at the age of 26. He was then sentenced to one year and six months in prison, though the prosecutor demanded three years. He appealed, but the higher court then increased the sentence to three years.

On the very day he was released officials of the Military Manpower Administration were waiting for him at the gate of the prison with a warrant for conscription. In 1977, at the age of 29, Chun-Guk Jeong was taken by force to the military camp of the 32ndDivision, where he was told that the criminal record for objection to military service is not counted as a criminal record (according to the law a criminal record could free him from military service).' It also stipulated that high school graduates shall be conscripted by 31 December of the year when they become 28 years old and university graduates by 31December of the year when they become 30 years old.' Chun-Guk Jeong was considered a university graduate even though he had dropped out of university in the first year and was conscripted again. In addition, the Martial Court gave him a heavier sentence because of his previous criminal record, which had not been counted as a criminal record at the time of conscription. He was thus sentenced to four years in prison. While being in the military police jail, he was mistreated, for example by being forced to kneel down, being kicked with military boots on his chest, and hitting his head on the cement floor. They even poured water on his face from a pitcher.

After all, Chun-Guk Jeong lived for seven years and ten months in prison: Three years and ten months in prison for evading military service and four years in prison for mutiny. His imprisonment began when he was 21 and continued until he was 33. Now Chun- Guk Jeong, who was studying to become a doctor, is living as a farmer, having abandoned his cherished hope to study medicine.

CONCODOC

WRI, as part of a coalition of CO support organisations, is hosting CONCODOC (CONscription and Conscientious Objection DOCumentation), a worldwide documentation on the situation of conscription and conscientious objection. It is the only one of its kind in the world. You can read all 180 CONCODOC country reports at wri-irg.org/co/rtba/; some reports are also available in Spanish.

The CONCODOC project depends on information which it receives from groups all over the world.

Support COs in prison: co-alerts In many countries, prison is still the fate of conscientious objectors. Thousands of COs are still in prisonin South Korea, Israel, Finland, Armenia, and many other countries. Despite many countries having introduced laws on conscientious objection, many COs still face imprisonment, because they either don't fit into the authorities' criteria, or they refuse to perform any alternative service. War Resisters' International supports conscientious objectors who are imprisoned because of their conscientious objection, or face repression by the state or state-like entities.

Co-alerts, sent out by email as soon as the WRI office receives information on the imprisonment or trial of a conscientious objector, are a powerful tool to mobilise support and protest. Co-alerts are available by email (to subscribe go to http://lists.wri-irg.org/sympa) or on the internet at wri-irg.org/news/alerts .

The WRI office also needs more information on imprisoned conscientious objectors from all over the world.
