On April 25, 2021 two young medical students went to the popular Han River park in the middle of Seoul to drink and have a picnic by the river late at night. On April 26, only one returned home and on April 30, the other was discovered dead floating in the water just meters from their picnic site. 

Despite a police investigation, autopsy, forensics, and numerous witnesses, there has been no conclusive explanation for the 22-year-old medical student Son Jung Min's death. Rather, after months of giving the process the benefit of the doubt, citizens are left only with mounting suspicions and odd 'coincidences' pointing towards a mishandled police investigation consisting of disappearing CCTV camera footage, false testimonies​, mysteriously disappearing and reappearing cell phone​ evidence, accepting scrubbed evidence, and allowing destroyed evidence.

This petition is for the international community to express its approval of the official petition to the National Assembly of Korea to 1) release the blocked CCTV footage and 2) open a science-based investigation into SJM's death. Since 'foreigners' can't sign the official petition, this is an honorary symbol of our support.
