The Seoul Namdaemun Police Station recently summoned members of the right-wing group “Free University,” which supports former President Yoon Suk-yeol, to appear for questioning on August 11. On the evening of July 22, around 8 p.m., the group held a rally near the Chinese Embassy in Jung-gu, Seoul, condemning alleged election fraud. During the rally, they tore a banner printed with the Chinese national flag and portraits of President Xi Jinping and Chinese Ambassador to South Korea Xing Haiming, insulting the embassy.
Article 108 of South Korea’s Criminal Act stipulates that insulting or defaming foreign envoys stationed in South Korea may result in imprisonment for up to three years or detention.
