A national petition has been filed urging the students to be severely punished and their identities disclosed for the gang violence of foreign nationality female middle school students in Yangsan, Gyeongsangnam-do.

On the 5th, on the bulletin board of the national petition, an article was posted, ‘We urge strong punishment and disclosure of the identity of the four perpetrators of tying up a foreign-born middle school girl and gang-assaulting them for 6 hours.’

The petitioner claimed, “Four middle school students of the same age who assaulted and abused a foreign nationality girl were arrested by the police.”

He added, “After a strong investigation, we request strong punishment for these four perpetrators and the release of their identities.”

This article has so far received 173,399 signatures.

Yangsan Police Station sent two middle school students to the prosecution on charges of joint assault under the Act on Punishment of Violence and Others.

The other two were juveniles under the law (criminal minors, between the ages of 10 and 14) and were handed over to the juvenile division of the Ulsan District Court.

These four people are accused of gang violence, such as forcing a Mongolian student victim to drink alcohol for two to three hours from midnight on July 3 this year, tying their hands and legs and slaps them several times in the cheek.
