A high school student who threatened to install an explosive at the old Andong Station, which was being filmed for a documentary, received a suspended sentence. The Changwon District Court sentenced a 17-year-old high school student, A, to two years of probation and 80 hours of community service for making a false report to a public office. On July 11, 2021, A chatted with a friend on a social media messaging app, saying, “I’m going to install an explosive at the old Andong Station, which is being filmed for ‘Docu 3 Days.’” This conversation was reported to the police, and A was investigated. The prosecution requested a suspended sentence, citing that A had no previous convictions and had expressed remorse for his actions. The court also considered that A had made a false report to a public office, but that he had not actually installed an explosive and that his motive was to get attention from his friends. The court said, “It is not a light crime to make a false report to a public office, but the defendant has expressed remorse and there are no previous convictions.” The court added, “The defendant’s actions could have caused a stampede and a serious accident, and it is fortunate that no one was injured.” The documentary in question, ‘Docu 3 Days,’ is a program that films people and events over three days and nights. The filming took place at the old Andong Station, which was scheduled to be demolished.

“Seeing Father Lee Tae-seok in the photo gives me strength.” The first neurologist from South Sudan was born. On the 15th, a graduation ceremony was held at the Catholic University of Sudan in Juba, South Sudan, for 29 medical students, including Dr. Achuil Lual Deng, the first neurologist in South Sudan. Dr. Lual, who was born in 1986 in Malakal, South Sudan, said in an interview, “I was inspired by Father Lee Tae-seok, who devoted himself to the poor in Uganda and South Sudan.” He continued, “I was in high school when I first met Father Lee, who was working as a doctor in Torit, Eastern Equatoria, South Sudan. At that time, I was struggling with the idea of becoming a doctor, but seeing his devotion to the poor, I decided to become a doctor.” Dr. Lual, who graduated from the Catholic University of Sudan with a degree in medicine in 2011, worked at the Juba Teaching Hospital and then moved to Australia to pursue his dream of becoming a neurologist. He studied at the University of Adelaide in Australia and returned to South Sudan in 2022 after completing his studies. Dr. Lual said, “I am very happy to be able to help my people. I am grateful to the Catholic Church and Catholic University of Sudan for giving me this opportunity.” Bishop Thomas Mangold of the Catholic Diocese of Juba also expressed his gratitude, saying, “I am very grateful to Dr. Lual for his dedication to the people of South Sudan.” The Catholic Diocese of Juba has been actively involved in the medical field in South Sudan, and in 2019, it established the Saint Theresa Hospital in Juba, with the support of the German Catholic Church. The hospital provides medical services to local residents, and it also offers training and education for medical students. Dr. Lual’s achievement is expected to have a significant impact on the medical field in South Sudan, where there is a severe shortage of medical professionals. The country has a population of about 14 million people, but it only has about 100 doctors. In particular, there are only two neurologists in the entire country, and Dr. Lual is the first neurologist from South Sudan. Dr. Lual’s dream is to establish a rehabilitation center in Juba and to provide medical services to patients with neurological disorders. He said, “I want to help my people recover from illness and return to their daily lives.”
