Senior prosecutors from district offices nationwide will gather to discuss the ruling party’s legislative push to strip the prosecution of investigative powers.
Around 50 of them will hold a meeting at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
Ranking prosecutors expressed concurrence with the view that a hasty push for legislation that changes the basic structure of the criminal justice system can bring irrevocable damage to the Korean people.
The attendees are expected to discuss related bills that have been submitted to parliament aimed at taking away the prosecution’s investigative authority.
Meanwhile on Tuesday evening, some 150 rank-and-file prosecutors will also hold a gathering at the Seoul branch from 7 p.m.
