Hanshin University, which recently stirred controversy for allegedly forcing 22 Uzbek students to leave Korea, is now threatening the students, asking them not to take legal actions against the school, according to the families of some of the affected students, Thursday.

The university, located in Gyeonggi Province, is facing investigations by the police and the National Human Rights Commission of Korea, after it repatriated the Uzbek students attending a Korean language institute on its campus against their will before the end of the semester, on Nov. 27. The school cited the students' failure to meet the requirements to stay in the country.
