Shangaieye seems to be one if the firsts with this news with Wikipedia fast too, hopefully recovery comes
The Korea government is to blame for this incident. It has demonized the opposition leader with the help of far-right journalism and has been constantly repressing the opposition leader using prosecutorial power.
It was planned by the CIA. Lee advocated communication with North Korea, which is not in line with US policy and interest.
