Han Donghoon Criticizes Special Prosecutor for Maintaining Travel Ban Without Summons: "Election-Motivated Measure"
"Summon Me Even Now"
Special Prosecutor Accused of Abuse of Power
Handonghun, an independent member of the National Assembly, on July 7 criticized the special prosecutor for maintaining his travel ban, stating, "If they impose a travel ban right before the election without any reason, extend it twice, and still fail to summon me, it is effectively an admission that the travel ban was for election purposes."
Through social media on this day, Assemblyman Han said, "The Democratic Party's politically motivated special prosecutor reportedly lifted the travel ban on Prosecutor Park Sangyong without even once summoning him," and added, "Where has all the bravado gone that they showed in press conferences, calling this a 'mega-scale government corruption scandal'?"
He went on to say, "The Democratic Party's political special prosecutor still has not lifted my travel ban today," and claimed, "The only reason given is a complaint from Sasaehaeng, a pro-Democratic Party organization notorious for its habitual accusations, with no specific details provided at all."
He emphasized, "This is not a 'mega-scale government corruption scandal,' but rather a 'mega-scale abuse of authority' by the Democratic Party's political special prosecutor," and urged, "Even now, summon me."
