Former Korean Prime Minister Prison Sentenced Reduced from 23 to 15 Years in Prison

With the sentence reduce to 15 years Han Duck-soo may at least has more of a chance to get out of prison before he dies:

An appeals court on Thursday reduced former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo’s sentence from 23 years to 15 years in prison over his role in former President Yoon Suk Yeol’s brief imposition of martial law.

The Seoul High Court handed down the sentence after finding Han guilty of playing a key role in an insurrection by aiding and abetting Yoon’s declaration of martial law in December 2024.

The eight-year reduction, however, appeared largely due to differences with the lower court over whether the former prime minister neglected his duties when he failed to stop the former president from imposing the order.
