Les critiques visant le gouvernement sud-coréen s’intensifient après que de hauts responsables ont publiquement stigmatisé un groupe religieux spécifique. Une directive appelant à l’ouverture d’une enquête et à l’« éradication » de ce groupe a été émise, alimentant des allégations de persécution religieuse.
Des dirigeants mondiaux — dont le président américain Donald Trump — ont exprimé leur inquiétude quant au fait que de telles actions pourraient saper des principes fondamentaux de la démocratie, en particulier la liberté de religion et la séparation de l’Église et de l’État.
De nombreux observateurs ont exprimé leurs inquiétudes face au contraste entre l’image de la Corée du Sud en tant que puissance culturelle de la K-pop et des K-dramas, et une perception croissante selon laquelle le pays présente des signes de régression démocratique.

The undersigned organizations express serious concern regarding the continued persecution of Ukrainian human rights defender Yurii Sheliazhenko, a conscientious objector to military service. He is currently under an alarming threat of being arrested and forcibly conscripted under Ukraine’s system of universal military registration, which is enforced through coercive measures including arbitrary detentions and forced transfers to conscription offices. Such practices effectively compel conscientious objectors to act against their beliefs and directly violate Article 18(2) of the ICCPR, which prohibits coercion impairing freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
