Ko Jin-soo, Head of Sejong Hotel Union, Released on Bail After Protesting for Reinstatement of Dismissed Teacher

Ko Jin-soo, head of the Sejong Hotel branch of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) Service Federation, who was arrested and indicted for staging a protest demanding the reinstatement of a dismissed teacher, is set to be released.

Judge Kim Soo-kyung of the 4th Criminal Division of the Seoul Western District Court granted Ko's bail request today (June 12) after holding a hearing in the afternoon.

Ko had previously filed a request for the cancellation of his arrest with the court on May 7, but the court dismissed the request on May 22.

Subsequently, Ko filed for bail with the court on June 5.

Ko is currently on trial on charges including trespassing into the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education building and damaging property during a protest held on April 15 in Yongsan-gu, where he demanded the reinstatement of dismissed teacher Ji Hye-bok.
