Korean media: Lee Jae-myung ends 10-day hunger strike
According to Korean media reports, former South Korean President Lee Jae-myung recently ended a 10-day hunger strike. This news has attracted widespread attention and discussion.
Lee Jae-myung is the fourth democratically elected president in South Korea's history, serving as president from 2008 to 2013. However, he became embroiled in a series of allegations of corruption and abuse of power after leaving office. In February, Mr. Lee was sentenced to 15 years in prison and fined 18 billion won ($16 million). He has been in prison ever since.
In order to protest his verdict, Lee decided to go on hunger strike. He believes he is innocent and that the justice system has unfairly tried him. Convinced that he was a victim of political persecution, he decided to take extreme measures to draw public attention and support to him.
Lee Jae-myung's hunger strike caused his physical condition to deteriorate dramatically. He fainted on the fourth day after the start of the hunger strike and was rushed to the hospital for treatment. However, he persevered and ended his hunger strike 10 days later.
Lee's hunger strike caused widespread repercussions. Some supported his decision, arguing that he was fighting for his own rights. However, there were also criticisms of his actions, arguing that he should respect the verdicts of the judicial system and accept the corresponding punishment.
In any case, Lee's hunger strike once again thrust him into the public eye. His actions sparked discussions about justice and political persecution. It also reminds us that even former presidents cannot escape the law.
In all, Lee ended his 10-day hunger strike. This action generated widespread attention and discussion, linking his personal experience to justice and political persecution. Only time will tell how his actions will affect himself and Korean society.
