National Human Rights Commission of Korea Annual Report 2017 79 (each training ground is about 100 meters long, so to get a range of 145 meters, two training grounds were needed), which are separated by a six-meter wide passageway used by soldiers. Not only the regimental commander but also ten or so senior members of the regiment used their personally-owned bows and arrows (ten or 20) to practice archery over the road. The Commission concluded that, as a regimental commander of the Army Training Center, the respondent has the responsibility and mission to safeguard the life and safety of his soldiers and, as such, has to remove all harms and ensure that his soldiers can be trained under safe conditions. It also concluded that shooting over a road used by soldiers without taking any minimum safety measures is an infringement of the soldiers’ right to life, personal security, and freedom of action specified under Article 10 of the Constitution. Part 2 C. Detention and protective facilities The complainant, a prisoner at Jail X, filed a complaint that the respondent did not cover his handcuffed and tied hands while he was escorted into a district court in 2016, treating him like a felony criminal and causing great humiliation. While acknowledging that the court was not structurally designed with a separate passage to prevent exposure of the complainant to the public, the Commission concluded that the respondent not taking any measures to cover the complainant’s face and handcuffs because there was no request to do so is an infringement of the complainant’s personal rights, which is a basic right specified under Article 10 of the Constitution. The Commission argued that, by social norm, one can fully anticipate a person’s desire not to expose his/her handcuffed or tied hands and that this desire could have been met by simply using a mask and towel. Thus, on 12 May, the Commission recommended the prison governor to establish and implement measures to prevent a similar public exposure of handcuffed prisoners while they are being escorted into a court, and to organize human rights education including job training for prison officers on a regular basis.
