‘101인 사건’ 피고인의 고문 피해 실태 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the torture victim suffered by the defendant in the ‘Korean Communist Party Incident’. The Korean Communist Party incident refers to the trial of the first arrest of the Korean Communist Party in November 1925 and the second arrest of the Korean Communist Party, which began during the preventive custody of June 10th National Movement in 1926. The defendant was tortured during the police investigation and preliminary hearing, and was imprisoned as an undertrial prisoner for a long time in a harsh prison. The defendant became increasingly exhausted physically and mentally. During this process, victims continued to emerge. Among the defendants, there were people who could no longer stand trial due to various illnesses. Seodaemun Prison tried to show through the diagnosis that it would be difficult for the defendant to appear in court or that bail was necessary. There were defendants who temporarily did not appear in court due to illness, defendants who applied for bail several times but were not granted bail, and defendants who were released from prison on bail. Park Gil-yang was granted release from prison on bail, but died just before he was released. Baek Gwang-heum died from aftereffects of torture shortly after being released from prison on bail. The court granted bail only when the defendant was in a critical condition.
