Police Splitting Hairs With Moustache Ban, Court Rules

 2007-11-08 16:53

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: A court in South Korea ruled Thursday (November 8th) in favour of a policeman who was suspended for refusing to shave off his moustache.

The officer, identified only by his family name Park, was suspended from his post at a Seoul police station for three months after he rejected an order from his seniors to shave.

The defiant officer brought his case to the Administrative Court. Judge Shin Dong-Seung ruled that regulations require officers to look tidy but do not ban moustaches.

"The court regards as appropriate the plaintiff's claim that police service regulations do not ban moustaches," he said in his ruling reported by Yonhap news agency.

It was not clear whether Park would win compensation. Police refused to comment on the case.
