Alan C. Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 South Korean soldier's beating death forces investigation of military The military says Private Yoon died from choking on food, unable to explain the extensive injuries to his body. The next day, they admit he was beaten while eating. But it was months before a military human rights group revealed the true extent of his abuse.“This wasn't just one time,” she said. “It happened over 30 days, continual abuse, sexual harassment, making him lick phlegm from the floor, eat his own vomit - the military didn't tell us about any of that.”The military denies a cover-up, but does acknowledge systematic abuse by some of Yoon's peers – abuse that was not picked up by superiors. Bullying in South Korea's military has been a problem for decades, the spokesman says it's a knock-on from school.. . .According to the Human Rights group, a witness in the same barracks says Yoon was told his family was at risk if he spoke up. The same witness reported the abuse to a superior, but nothing was done.. . ....an Army survey carried out in April as part of this investigation found almost 4,000 previously unreported cases of abuse, suggesting a problem the military thought they had a grip on may be far more widespread than feared.
