The investigator of Seoul’s Yeongdeungpo Police Station arrives to conduct a search and seizure of the computer server of the Democratic Labor Party (DLP), but is blocked by a member of the DLP at the KT’s Internet Service Center located in Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province, Feb. 4.

Although DLP members protested that the search and seizure was an oppressive act against the opposition party, the investigator conducted the search and seizure to confirm that suspected Korean Teachers and Educational Workers’ Union (KTU) members and members of the Korean Government Employees‘ Union (KGEU) had joined the DLP.
