South Korea's Unification Church Leader Han Hak Ja Sentenced in Bribery Case
Han Hak Ja, leader of South Korea's Unification Church and widow of its founder, was sentenced to two years in prison for bribery involving gifts to former First Lady Kim Keon Hee, who also received a prison term for graft. The case is part of broader investigations into ties between religious groups and politicians under the current liberal government. Former President Yoon Suk Yeol, Kim's husband, was removed from office and jailed following a failed martial law declaration in 2024. Han's lawyers plan to appeal the conviction.
