[On-site Video] "President Moon Must Decide to Release Park Geun-hye" Park Supporters Appeal in Front of Cheong Wa Dae

[Asia Economy Reporter Seunggon Han, Intern PD Hyewon Lim] "Release former President Park!"

A rally urging the release of former President Park Geun-hye was held at 11 a.m. on the 9th in front of the fountain square at the Blue House. The 'Committee for the Promotion of the Release of President Park Geun-hye (Promotion Committee),' which hosted the press conference that day, repeatedly appealed to ensure the release of former President Park by the end of the year.

The press conference was attended by Lee Gyu-taek, chairman of the Promotion Committee, Choi Dae-jip, former president of the Korean Medical Association, and Shim Dong-bo, former Navy Admiral.

Chairman Lee said, "I appeal to President Moon Jae-in," adding, "I want to say that to cleanly close this unfortunate history, please make sure to release former President Park Geun-hye within this year."

Choi Dae-jip, former president of the Korean Medical Association, raised his voice, saying, "At the time when a new president will be inaugurated on March 9, President Moon Jae-in needs to make a political decision to release former President Park for national unity."

He continued, "If President Moon does not make a decision on the release of former President Park Geun-hye, this presidential election will not be a healing election but will inevitably trigger enormous division, conflict, and disputes once again," warning of the consequences.

Former Admiral Shim Dong-bo expressed regret, saying, "Among the leading presidential candidates from both ruling and opposition parties, there is no one advocating for Park Geun-hye's release nor arguing the unfairness of the impeachment."

Meanwhile, after the press conference, the Promotion Committee submitted a petition to the Blue House. They plan to continue weekend rallies on the 11th at Gwanghwamun, the 12th at Daegu Dongseong-ro, the 18th at Gwanghwamun, and the 19th at Busan Nampo Station.
