Cho Doo-soon, one of South Korea's most notorious child predators in recent history, was released from prison on Saturday amid protests against the malevolent criminal's return to society.

12月12日,在反对犯人回归社会的抗议声中,韩国近年来最为臭名昭著的性侵儿童罪犯赵斗淳刑满出狱。


Angry protests near his residence threw eggs at him and shouted slogans calling for his execution or expulsion from the city, Yonhap News Agency reported Saturday.

据韩联社12月13日报道,赵斗淳住所附近愤怒的抗议者向他投掷鸡蛋,并高喊口号,要求处决他或将他驱逐出城。


Cho, who spent 12 years behind bars, will reportedly live in his old house in Ansan.

A bill proposing mandatory life sentences for child rapists has been introduced by lawmakers. But people dread the thought of a deadly criminal preying upon innocuous children. Even the fact that Cho will be tracked by a GPS device 24/7 has failed to calm frayed nerves.

立法者提出了一项法案,建议对强奸儿童的罪犯判处强制性的终身监禁。但民众面对一个残害无辜儿童的致命罪犯依旧人心惶惶。即使赵斗淳将被GPS设备24小时跟踪监控,也无法安抚民众脆弱的神经。


Local police claimed they will monitor Cho around the clock and have "installed 15 new CCTV cameras" and "raised the brightness level of 30 street lamps" in the neighborhood.

当地警方声称将24小时监视赵斗淳,并在其活动区域附近加装了15个监控摄像头,提高了30个路灯的亮度。
