The detention suspension period for Unification Church leader Dr. Hak Ja Han has been extended for another month.
On June 29, the Seoul Central District Court approved the extension until 2:00 PM on July 31.
The original release period was scheduled to expire at 2:00 PM on June 30, following an extension request filed on June 25.
She will continue receiving treatment at a hospital.
This marks the third extension, citing ongoing health deterioration in detention, along with her shoulder fracture surgery and vision problems.
Meanwhile, in South Korea, cases of elderly individuals being detained continue.
Shincheonji Church leader Lee Man-hee (95) remains in custody.
The church strongly criticized the decision, stating that “detaining a super-elderly person aged 95 is a harsh measure that threatens life and health,” and expressed deep regret over the rejection of the detention validity review.
The handling of detention for elderly religious leaders has become a serious issue.
