Blog Article
Former national fencing team member Nam Hyun-hee has filed for a retrial regarding the expulsion disciplinary action she received from the Seoul
Fencing Association.
An official from the Seoul Metropolitan Sports Council announced on the 28th that Mr. Nam recently submitted an application for reconsideration
regarding disciplinary action and received it.
As Mr. Nam applies for a retrial, the Seoul Metropolitan Sports Council will hold a Sports Fair Committee meeting within 60 days to make a related
decision. The decision of the Seoul Metropolitan Sports Council has final effect.
Mr. Nam was expelled from the Sports Fair Committee of the Seoul Fencing Association on the 18th of this month.
This was a measure taken after the Sports Ethics Center decided in March to request disciplinary action after determining that Nam had failed to
fulfill his duties as a leader by not reporting the human rights violations of students at the academy run by him.
Last July, a complaint was filed with the police by the victim, alleging that instructor A, who worked at a male academy in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, had
sexually harassed and assaulted two underage students for several 안전한카지노 months.
According to the National Sports Promotion Act and the Enforcement Decree of the Promotion Act, which is a decree of the Ministry of Culture,
Sports and Tourism, coaches of sports organizations under the Korea Sports Council and operators of private academies must immediately report to
the Sports Ethics Center or investigative authorities if they become aware of any violation of human rights, corruption, or suspicious circumstances in
the sports world.
Person A is said to have made an extreme choice a few days after the complaint was filed and the sexual assault allegations became public knowledge
within the hospital.
Accordingly, while the police investigation was unable to proceed, the Sports Ethics Center began to investigate the truth at the request of the victim
in October last year, and concluded that Mr. Nam did not report the circumstances related to Mr. A even though he was aware of them, and requested
disciplinary action. Afterwards, the Seoul City Fencing Association took the highest level of disciplinary action: expulsion.
