Producing and Distributing Materials to Improve Awareness on Refugees We realized the need to deliver accurate information and counter the spread of groundless fear and rumors about asylum-seekers after the controversy over asylum-seekers from Yemen on Jeju Island led to the request posted on the website of Cheong Wa Dae to abolish the Refugee Act. In this context, we produced and distributed materials to improve awareness on refugees. Ensuring the Connection of Public Phones in the Military with the Commission's Counseling Service Number (1331) We improved soldiers' right to receive human rights counseling and to file a petition by ensuring the connection of public phones in the military with the Commission's counseling service number (1331). After receiving a petition that public phones in the military did not connect to the Commission's counseling service number of 1331 without a telephone exchange number, we randomly selected over ten military camps and found that the intercept message your call cannot be completed was heard when 1331 was dialed at some military camps. We checked with each public phone service provider and discovered that disconnection was caused by a technical problem with the Internet Protocol. At our request, the Ministry of National Defense resolved the disconnection problem for all public phones in the military.
