A court has decided to suspend the detention of Han Hak-ja, leader of the Unification Church, who had been standing trial while in custody, and granted her temporary release.

Court Decides Release on Health Grounds

The court granted a suspension of detention until the 30th of next month, considering that Han had been complaining of health deterioration while in custody. Accordingly, Han will be temporarily released, and the trial will proceed without detention.

Suspension of detention is a court decision to temporarily halt the detention status due to the defendant's health condition or other reasons. Han's side had been requesting release citing advanced age and health problems.

Unification Church Leader Under Trial

Han Hak-ja is the supreme leader of the Unification Church (Family Federation for World Peace and Unification) and is currently standing trial on related charges. With this court decision, Han will remain released until the 30th of next month, and whether to detain her again will be reviewed depending on the trial proceedings.

Legal circles view this as a decision that considers both the health rights of elderly defendants and the fairness of trial proceedings.
