South Korean Opposition Leader Hospitalised During Hunger Strike, Prosecutors Pursue Arrest

South Korea's main opposition leader, Lee Jae-myung, has been hospitalized after going on a hunger strike to protest against government policies. Lee, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, was transferred to a hospital due to dehydration and dizziness. Meanwhile, prosecutors have sought an arrest warrant for him over corruption allegations related to a development project and bribery. Lee denies any wrongdoing and calls the allegations a "political conspiracy." Parliament will need to waive Lee's immunity from arrest for the court to review the prosecution's request.
