South Korea’s president orders nationwide check of forceful resistance to law

South Korean President Lee Jae-myung ordered a nationwide investigation into cases of people resisting the law by force.

He directed relevant government departments to carry out the check.

The investigation is to cover the whole country, rather than a specific area.

Lee said that such cases exist, but did not identify any particular group or incident in the statement.

The order concerns resistance to the lawful order, not a named court case or dispute.

Government departments are now expected to check for cases nationwide; no further steps or timeline were given.
