A South Korean court has approved the suspension of detention for Han, a prominent scholar and leader of the Unification Church, allowing him to receive medical treatment in a hospital. From October 12 at 10 AM to October 21 at 2 PM, Han will be out of custody, with the stipulation that he remains at the hospital for treatment. During this period, he is only allowed contact with medical personnel, his lawyer, and caregivers, and is prohibited from interacting with any related parties involved in his ongoing legal case. This decision follows a previous suspension request made by Han’s representatives, citing health concerns. In the past, Han was able to secure a similar release in November of the previous year for surgery related to glaucoma, after which he had requested an extension of his release. However, the court denied that request, leading to his immediate re-arrest. The case highlights the legal provisions in South Korea that enable temporarily releasing detained individuals for essential medical care or significant personal matters such as attending funerals. The implications of Han's case are significant not only for his personal situation but also for broader issues regarding the treatment of detainees in the South Korean legal system.
