The lawsuit for reinstatement of the late Sergeant Byun Hee-soo, the late’transgender soldier’ who passed away on the 6th due to the extreme selection, is expected to continue.
On the morning of the morning of the 15th, the Joint Countermeasure Committee for Reinstatement of Sergeant Byun Hee-soo and the Rehabilitation of Honor held a press conference at Aumdree Hall of the Participation Solidarity in Jongno-gu, Seoul. It will be re-established as a joint countermeasure committee for the reinstatement of Sergeant Hee-soo’s reinstatement and honor.”
In accordance with the will of the surviving family, the Air Corps decided to continue the legal process for the reinstatement of Sergeant Byun without interruption. Lim Tae-hoon, director of the Military Rights Center, explained, “The lawyers and the bereaved family met on the 10th, and the bereaved family filled out an application for taking the lawsuit on the spot.”
Attorney Hyung-bin Hyung-bin said, “If the plaintiff who filed an administrative lawsuit dies, it can be recognized as a suspension or termination of the lawsuit, but there are legal interests for the bereaved families, so if the court permits, the bereaved families will be judged eligible for the plaintiff.” The main purpose of the lawsuit filed by Mr. Byeon is to cancel the discharge and restore the honor, but the court usually requires the surviving family to have legal and economic interests in order to succeed the lawsuit. Accordingly, the lawyers plan to use the bereaved family’s right to claim benefits as the basis.
“We will organize a solidarity of citizens against discrimination and hatred with the aim of winning victory and reinstatement of the deceased and open a field of struggle.” “We propose a focused action to communicate our needs to the army.” “The Ministry of Defense and the Army must apologize to Sergeant Byun Hee-soo and accept reinstatement, and the judiciary must cancel the unfair disposition.”
Sergeant Byun returned to Korea after undergoing sex change surgery while on vacation in November 2019 while working for the army’s parent unit, hoping to “continue to serve”. However, the Army decided to discharge Sergeant Byun on the third degree of mental and physical disability and on January 22 last year.
Sergeant Byun dissatisfied with this and filed a personnel appeal, but when it was dismissed in June of last year, he filed an administrative lawsuit to cancel the disposition under the Daejeon District Law on August 11th. A pleading date was scheduled for April, but Sergeant Byeon was found dead at his home in Cheongju on the 3rd.
The Joint Countermeasures Committee for Reinstatement of Sergeant Byun Hee-Soo and Honor Recovery held a press conference’I will win in the name of Byun Hee-soo’ at the participation solidarity in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 15th, and announced plans to proceed with the reinstatement of the deceased.
