Kyung-hwan

Human Rights Dept: I really just needed some time to think and decide what to do. I knew that if I went home I would have to go to jail, Kyung-hwan, 30, told the Star , according to The Star. Perhaps even more importantly, Kyung-hwan feared that as a homosexual his human rights would be violated in the patriarchal South Korean military and kim Kyung-hwan arrived in Canada in June 2006 with no clear plans in mind. Kyung-hwan objected to the 21 months of compulsory military service that all able-bodied South Korean males face. As a pacifist strongly opposed to violent conflict, Kyung-hwan had serious reservations about taking up arms and possibly being required to use them. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
