Korean Opposition Politicians Face Jail Sentences for Scuffle in National Assembly Over Six Years Ago
It looks like the purge of Korean conservatives is continuing:
Prosecutors on Monday requested prison sentences for nearly a dozen lawmakers affiliated with the predecessor of the main opposition People Power Party (PPP) over their alleged involvement in a physical altercation at the National Assembly in 2019.
The Seoul Southern District Court is scheduled to deliver its verdict on Nov. 20, more than six years after the incident took place.
Prosecutors requested a two-year sentence for Rep. Na Kyung-won of the PPP, who served as the then main opposition Liberty Korea Party (LKP)’s floor leader at the time.
A 10-month prison term and a fine of 2 million won ($1,440) were sought for Rep. Song Eon-seog, the current PPP floor leader.
Prosecutors also sought a 1 1/2-year prison term for Hwang Kyo-ahn, former leader of the LKP.
In April 2019, the then ruling Democratic Party, in cooperation with minor opposition blocs, including the center-right Bareunmirae Party, sought to fast-track a package of reform bills. Among the key bills was legislation aimed at establishing an independent agency to investigate corruption involving high-ranking government officials.
Members of the LKP fiercely resisted the move, physically attempting to block the legislative process. The conflict escalated when Rep. Chae Yi-bae of the Bareunmirae Party was confined in his office for five hours by LKP members.
Following the incident, rival parties filed a total of 18 complaints against each other, involving charges such as assault, obstruction of business and defamation.

It’s easy to fool lazy people into voting for communism. It’s a lot harder to vote your way out.
As usual @setnaffa fretting about imaginary communists while his country is descending into an autocratic banana republic dystopia and economic ruin thanks to his vote and support for Trump and right wing wackos.
That and of course his collaboration with China and Russia.
The eternal meme of the submissive stormtrooper to the Orange Sith Lord.
Banging away on his keyboard … marginally in tune with the Star Wars theme.

Korean Thing vStephen.0, you don’t realize that Trump isn’t orange, do you?
Poor thing.
Remember, everyone, when the left accuses you of something, they are doing it.
Ah yes ChickenHeaad.
So good of you to color Biden’s face orange in an attempt to spread fake news and misinformation.

Welcome to the discussion on what the media does to Trump’s photos.

Welcome to the discussion on what the media does to Trump’s photos.
The color of his face is orange because of the extensive sessions in the suntanning machine.
Why should the media bother with coloring his face orange, when it’s already orange?

…despite being able to watch several newscasts simultaneously and he is only orange in some… mostly the ones with the gold old American Red, White, and off-Pink.
