[Nongsuchuksan Shinmun = Reporter Kim Jin-oh] On the 30th, the Farmers' Path with the People (Chairman Yoon Il-kwon) and the Life and Peace Workers Baek Nam-gi Farmer Memorial Foundation (Representative Jang Hwi-guk) issued a condemnation, stating that former National Police Commissioner Kang Shin-myeong, who caused the death of the late farmer Baek Nam-gi, has become a director of Nonghyup, an organization built with the blood and sweat of farmers. According to the statement, NH Savings Bank, a subsidiary of Nonghyup Financial Group, appointed former Commissioner Kang as an outside director last May. Outside Director Kang was the highest-ranking official responsible for the water cannon crackdown during the 2015 People's General Rally; at a hearing held when Farmer Baek was fighting for his life, he ultimately refused to apologize, stating, "It is not appropriate to apologize unconditionally just because someone was injured or died."
