Leaked document may implicate LKP leader Hwang Kyo Ahn in martial law plans
Hwang Kyo Ahn is the former prime minister in office during the Park Geun Hye impeachment process and associated pro-democracy candlelight demonstrations. He is the current leader of the right wing Liberty Korea Party. According to T.K. Park on his Ask A Korean twitter thread the South Korean public prosecutor's office withholding of the document reflects on its pro-conservative bias. This may lend further support for democratic and progressive parties' plans to reform the national prosecutors offices in an effort to limit their power.
