Court to decide on arrest warrant for opposition leader

Protestors hold up signs calling for the arrest of Lee Jae-myung, leader of the main opposition Democratic Party, near the Seoul Central District Court on Sept. 26, 2023, where Lee appears to attend a hearing to review the legality of his detention over corruption charges. The prosecution has filed for an arrest warrant for Lee over alleged breach of trust, bribery and other charges stemming from his time as mayor of Seongnam, south of Seoul, years ago in connection with a scandal-ridden land development project and his alleged involvement in a company's illegal cash remittance to North Korea.
