South Korea, once hailed as a beacon of democracy in Asia, is now carrying out police raids on political opponents who dare raise questions about election fraud under the current pro-Chinese regime.
On August 20, armed police stormed the office of the Free and Innovation Party, led by former Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, under the guise of investigating so-called “election law violations,” according to our contact in South Korea, Kim Yu-jin.
Hwang, along with hundreds of citizens organized under the Committee for Preventing Election Fraud, had officially registered as election monitors.
They followed legal procedures, participated transparently, and documented what they believed were serious irregularities. Instead of being commended for strengthening democracy, they are now being treated as criminals.
According to reports in the Herald Economy, the National Election Commission (NEC) filed complaints accusing Hwang and his group of “interfering” with elections, claiming they trained monitors on how to disrupt voting, induced invalid ballots, and even held rallies near polling places.
Police used those accusations as the basis for sweeping raids, ransacking offices and seizing materials.
Herald Economy reported:
The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency conducted a search and seizure at 10 a.m. on the 20th, following allegations of election fraud by a group headed by former Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn.
[Herald Economy = Reporters Lee Yong-kyung and Kim A-rin] Police have confirmed that they are conducting a search and seizure of the offices of the Anti-Corruption and Election Fraud Unit (BFRU) on the 20th, following a complaint filed by the National Election Commission. This group is headed by former Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, who alleges election fraud.
According to a Herald Economy report on the 20th, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s Public Crime Investigation Unit has been searching and seizing the BFRU office in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, since 10:00 AM that day.
The National Election Commission (NEC) previously filed a complaint against former Prime Minister Hwang and the BFRU in May, ahead of the 21st presidential election, on charges of establishing a similar organization under the Public Official Election Act and interfering with and obstructing voting and counting.
The NEC alleged that former Prime Minister Hwang and the BFRU trained their members on methods to disrupt voting processes ahead of the presidential election and induced invalid votes. The NEC also alleged that the BFRU organized a rally within 100 meters of a polling station on early voting days, thereby systematically disrupting election operations.
Last June, the police also conducted a search and seizure at the Bubangdae office in Busan.
Kim Yu-jin warned in an exclusive statement to The Gateway Pundit:
“This incident is therefore not an isolated case. It is a clear indication of the erosion of democratic rights in South Korea, where dissenting voices are being systematically silenced through police investigations and prosecutions.
I respectfully and urgently call on the international community to pay close attention to these developments. Freedom of expression and political diversity are foundational to democracy, and what is happening in South Korea is not just a domestic concern but a broader threat to the values of the free world.
In addition, while I am sending this email and engaging in community activities to inform the international community, I live in constant fear that I could be suddenly arrested at any moment.”
