(Observer Network News) According to Yonhap News Agency, leading figures from the Korean Medical Association stated on the 20th that they will gather the power of 140,000 doctors to launch a campaign to urge the Yoon Seok-yue regime to step down from that day.
The above statement was made by Joo Soo-ho, chairman of the Media Publicity Committee of the Emergency Countermeasures Committee of the Korean Medical Association, to reporters before accepting police investigation. Zhu Xiuhu arrived at the Public Crime Investigation Team of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Department on the morning of the 20th to receive the second summons from the police on suspicion of inciting interns and residents to resign collectively.
Zhu Xiuhu said that the government ordered doctors to revoke their licenses on the grounds that Kan Zeyu, chairman of the Emergency Response Committee of the Medical Association, and others "encouraged" their members at the rally.
Zhu Xiuhu said that safeguarding freedom of speech and freedom of assembly is the most important cornerstone of safeguarding liberal democracy. He will gather the will of the medical team to launch a campaign to urge the Yoon Seok-yue regime to step down in order to safeguard liberal democracy, and will carry out joint actions with the political circles when necessary.
Park Myung-ha, chairman of the organization strengthening committee of the Korean Medical Association’s Emergency Countermeasures Committee, was investigated by the police for the fourth time that day. He said that although the South Korean government is pushing irreversible policies like a military regime, South Korea's basic medical care is irreversible. Throughout history, "witch-hunting" reforms to eradicate dissidents have never been successful.
He pointed out that the government took such tough measures to promote the expansion of medical student enrollment because the government believed that centrally arranging enrollment quotas for local medical schools could gain the support of local people.
On the 27th of last month, the Ministry of Health and Welfare of South Korea filed a complaint with the police against five major members of the Medical Association, including Zhu Xiuhu, former president of the Medical Association Noh Hwan-gyu, Kim Taek-woo, Park Myung-ha and Dae-hyun. Lin Hyun-taek, president of the Korean Association of Pediatric and Adolescent Physicians, notified on the 18th of this month that the medical licenses of Kim Taek-woo and Park Myung-ha were revoked for three months.
