European Advocates Urge Release of Elderly Shincheonji Founder on Humanitarian Grounds

European scholars and human rights groups call for release of Shincheonji founder Lee Man-hee, citing age and health concerns, in a case that raises questions about religious freedom and justice in South Korea.

This case highlights the tension between national legal proceedings and international human rights standards, particularly regarding the treatment of elderly defendants and religious minorities. It underscores the importance of ensuring that justice is administered without prejudice, as the outcome could set a precedent for religious freedom and due process in South Korea and beyond.
