On the afternoon of the 17th, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions held a resolution rally around Sejong-daero, Jung-gu, Seoul, condemning the suppression of the construction union, commemorating the late Yanghoe-dong member who set himself on fire, and condemning the suppression of the union by the Yoon Seok-yeol government.

The National Construction Labor Union (Construction Labor Union) strongly refuted the suspicion of forgery and ghostwriting of the late Yang Hoi-dong, raised by ‘Monthly Chosun’.

The Construction Workers’ Union issued a statement on the 18th and said, “The first will was a will written by the martyr on the 1st, instead of a petition to Deputy Director Hong Mo, saying that he should write a petition quietly alone in a car.” The will was written in advance and sealed.”

He continued, “The police kept it, and it was released to the recipients, the labor union, four political parties, and their families.”

He explained, “I will definitely ask for responsibility for the malicious distortion and agitation in the name of suspicion.” “The construction union has a record of the martyr’s life activities. Detailed data that Joseon cannot refute is already prepared.”

Monthly Chosun raised suspicions of forgery and ghostwriting of Mr. Yang Hoi-dong, who set himself on fire on the afternoon of the same day, claiming that the government was suppressing legitimate labor union activities.

According to Monthly Chosun, among the three wills confirmed, the handwriting of one will contained in the KCTU construction union card news and the other two wills is different.

The construction union added that there was an error in the initial rebuttal statement. The union said, “The Chosun Ilbo affiliate, Monthly Chosun, came out with suspicions about the suicide note and misunderstood that it had raised suspicion of fabrication with the scene in the video.” It has been submitted. We will officially correct it and pay attention to it in the future.”

Previously, the construction union refuted the Chosun Ilbo’s report on self-immolation as “a malicious report trying to distort the whole situation related to Yang Hoe-dong’s death.”

On the 16th, the Chosun Ilbo released a CCTV footage captured at the time of the incident, saying that there was a questionable part in the response of Mr. A, deputy manager of the Gangwon branch of the construction union who was at the scene when Yang set himself on fire.

On the other hand, the construction union refuted that Mr. A, an elementary, middle and high school classmate of Mr. Yang, had no choice but to persuade him through conversation to dissuade Mr. Yang, who had already sprayed volatile substances on his body.

Regarding this, it is known that there are no cases in which the police have been charged with aiding and abetting suicide, including Mr. A.
