Yang Bnam, Chairman of the Gwangju City Party Committee of the Democratic Party of Korea.

Yang Bunam, head of the Gwangju City Committee of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated on the 26th, "The not-guilty verdict for Democratic Party leader Lee Jaemyung in the appeals trial is a victory for justice and truth," adding, "Justice cannot be stopped by the prosecution's blade used for political elimination."

In a commentary released on this day, Yang said, "Today, a not-guilty verdict was delivered for leader Lee Jaemyung," and emphasized, "With this ruling, Lee will be able to completely shake off the so-called 'judicial risk' that has been raised so far, and move forward with the people into a new era of hopeful democracy."

He continued, "This acquittal is not merely a personal legal victory, but a historic ruling that restores legitimate politics and upholds the principles of democracy," and evaluated, "Despite the prosecution's excessive indictments, arbitrary interpretations and distortions, and unprecedented investigations and offensives, the court ultimately stood on the side of justice."

He further pointed out, "The false facts punished by the election law pertain to actions, but the prosecution indicted using the word 'gyoyuhaengwi,' a term never heard before," adding, "It is truly deplorable that such an unreasonable logic, which insists even a person's thoughts should be punished, is being applied as if it is natural to leader Lee Jaemyung."

He also stressed, "No government has ever so recklessly oppressed the elected leader of the main opposition party. Nevertheless, the truth has been revealed, and the judiciary has unwaveringly upheld constitutional values," and added, "Now, it is time to hold the political prosecutors accountable and break the chain of democratic destruction."

Meanwhile, Yang stated, "The rule of law and justice in the Republic of Korea are still alive. Now is the time to hold President Yoon Sukyeol accountable for violating constitutional order through the impeachment trial verdict," and urged, "The will of the people is clear. The Constitutional Court must not delay its decision any longer."
