S Korean court upholds 20-yr prison term for ex-Prez Park Geun-hye
South Korea's Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a 20-year prison sentence and a fine of 18 billion won (nearly ₹120 crore) for former President Park Geun-hye. Park, the country's first woman president, was removed from office in 2017 after the Constitutional Court upheld a parliament vote to impeach her. Reportedly, this raises the possibility of a presidential pardon for Park.
