South Korea Court Sentences Unity Church Leader to Two Years

A South Korean court has sentenced Han Hae-ja, the leader of the "Tongil" Church, to two years in prison on charges related to bribery of officials, including providing luxury goods to the former First Lady to gain political favors. Han, 83 years old, was arrested in September 2025, and today’s verdict is considered part of ongoing investigations into her political connections and allegations of abuse of power and influence. The church announced its intention to appeal the ruling, while the court emphasized that Han’s stature and role necessitate the incarceration. The prison sentence has sparked controversy within the church, which believes it is being persecuted, while her health remains a concern as she remains hospitalized until Wednesday.
