Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon criticized Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung’s hospital stay on the 18th, saying, “Even if a criminal suspect fasts, the judicial system does not stop.”
Minister Han met with reporters while attending the National Assembly this morning and said, “I don’t think a precedent should be created where the judicial메이저사이트 system is halted just because a suspect under investigation fasts and harms himself.”
He then asked, “Then won’t all miscellaneous criminals do this from now on?” He added, “This is the first time I have seen a fast that begins after being notified of a summons like the one we are seeing now,” and added, “There have been cases in the past where powerful people committed crimes and fasted, were hospitalized, and rode in wheelchairs to avoid punishment, but they were not successful.”
Minister Han also said, “In the past, when politicians fasted, they had clear goals and a clear reason for doing it, but they are not good at explaining why they are fasting this time.” He added, “They know that there is no justification, so they grab any object they can get their hands on and attack the Prime Minister. He pointed out, “They are pouring out contextless stories such as dismissal, resignation of the entire cabinet, and impeachment.”
Representative Lee was rushed to the hospital at around 7:11 a.m. on the 19th day of his fast.
