The People Power Party held a rally on October 23 to announce plans for an unconstitutional lawsuit against the revised Information and Communications Network Act, which took effect in July.
Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk attended the event at the National Assembly and stated, "If we do not resist while injustice is being codified into law, a dictatorship under the guise of law will inevitably begin. This 'gag law' is being implemented to silence that resistance and those voices."
Joo Jin-woo, the lawmaker who organized the event, also announced plans for the lawsuit, saying, "As part of our struggle, we intend to file an unconstitutional lawsuit against the gag law with the Constitutional Court. So far, 85,894 citizens have participated in this constitutional lawsuit. We will file a collective constitutional lawsuit with the people."
Supreme Council member Shin Dong-wook remarked, "Why was this law created? I believe there is only one reason: to 'save Lee Jae-myung.' It is hard to imagine any other justification for such a law." He expressed hope that 100,000 people would participate in the collective constitutional lawsuit by the end of the month, marching proudly to the Constitutional Court.
Jang emphasized, "We will definitely win the constitutional petition. Young people and patriotic citizens must step up to fight and raise their voices to protect South Korea. We must ensure that we emerge victorious."
Joo added, "I declare a full-scale struggle for the repeal of the gag law alongside the Youth Alliance for the Protection of Freedom of Expression and the citizens. I will dedicate everything I have to fight until this tyrannical law is completely dismantled."
The revised Information and Communications Network Act includes provisions for censoring and regulating false and manipulated information.
