A motion to lift Lee Jae-myung’s immunity was passed by a 149-136 vote today.

Lee Jae-myung was transferred to a hospital on Monday after launching a hunger strike on Aug 31.

He is also accused of breaching his duties, which allegedly resulted in a loss of 20 billion won for a company owned by Seongnam city during his term as its mayor. Lee has denied all the allegations against him, and yesterday asked his party members to reject the motion, which he called “clearly illegal and unjust”.

The opposition leader also committed “a serious crime akin to disrupting the foundation of the nation” by “attempting to undermine UN sanctions against North Korea”, Han told parliament.
