Survey on reasonableness of the length of imprisonment sentenced against the former president of South Korea, Park Geun-hye as of April 2018
Original question:
"The Seoul Central District Court delivered the first verdict on Park Guen-hye, the former president, sentencing her to be 24 years in prison. Do you think the length of imprisonment is reasonable?"
Park Geun-hye served as the 11th president of South Korea from February 25, 2013 to March 10, 2017. During the office years, Park was accused of charges such as abuse of power, extortion, bribery, and the leaking of government confidential information, which led her to be impeached by the National Assembly on December 9, 2016.
