Rescue workers move Lee Jae-myung, head of the main opposition Democratic Party, on a stretcher from his office at the National Assembly in Seoul to a nearby hospital on Sept. 18, 2023, due to deteriorating health conditions on the 19th day of his hunger strike there. Lee kicked off his fast on Aug. 31, amid the prosecution's probe into a series of corruption allegations against him. (Yonhap)
