국가보안법상 이적표현물 소지죄에 대한 위헌성

The National Security Act is an unjust law which should rightfully be abolished. The purpose of this Act is to secure the security of the State and the subsistence and freedom of nationals, by regulating any anticipated activities compromising the safety of the State. In the construction and application of this Act, it shall be limited at a minimum of construction and application for attaining the purpose, and shall not be permitted to construe extensively this Act, or to restrict unreasonably the fundamental human rights of citizens guaranteed by the Constitution. As Article 7, Any person who praises, incites or propagates the activities of an antigovernment organization, a member thereof or of the person who has received an order from it, or who acts in concert with it, or propagates or instigates a rebellion against the State, with the knowledge of the fact that it may endanger the existence and security of the State or democratic fundamental order, shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than seven years. Any person who manufactures, imports, reproduces, holds, carries, distributes, sells or acquires any documents, drawings or other expression materials, with the intention of committing the act as referred to in paragraph (1), (3) or (4), shall be punished by the penalty as referred to in the respective paragraph. Article 7 of the National Security Act of South Korea has created much controversy as it relates to freedom of expression-one of the most precious rights that human beings have.
