Shincheonji Church of Jesus released an Official Statement regarding the detention of Chairman Man Hee Lee, emphasizing cooperation with investigators, respect for judicial procedures, and the principle of trial without detention.
When I first read the Official Statement released by Shincheonji Church of Jesus, what caught my attention was not only the legal issue itself but also the church's emphasis on judicial procedure and its explanation of why it viewed the detention as regrettable. Rather than focusing on speculation, I wanted to understand exactly what the official announcement said.
The statement centered on Chairman Man Hee Lee, the legal process currently underway, and the church's position regarding the court's detention decision. Reading the announcement carefully reminded me how important it is to distinguish verified facts from assumptions, especially when a case is still awaiting trial.
The Official Position Presented by Shincheonji Church of Jesus
A statement focused on legal procedure
According to the official announcement released on June 25, Shincheonji Church of Jesus expressed regret over the detention of Chairman Man Hee Lee, describing it as a measure imposed on a 95-year-old suspect despite what the church characterized as the absence of concerns regarding destruction of evidence or flight risk.
The statement explained that Chairman Man Hee Lee and the church had cooperated throughout the investigation, including searches conducted by investigative authorities. It also stated that relevant materials had already been secured through repeated searches and therefore argued that evidence destruction was no longer a concern.
Standing in front of the released statement, I found myself reading every sentence slowly. Rather than searching for emotional expressions, I wanted to understand the precise reasoning the church presented as its official position.
Official Statement released by Shincheonji Church of Jesus explaining its position on the detention of Chairman Man Hee Lee and reaffirming respect for judicial procedures while preparing for the main trial.
Health Concerns Mentioned in the Official Statement
Concerns raised regarding detention
Another part of the statement focused on health.
According to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Chairman Man Hee Lee, who is 95 years old, requires continuous medical support and daily health management. The church expressed concern that detention in a correctional facility could result in a rapid deterioration of his health or create medical risks.
Reading this section, I understood that the church was presenting its concern based on the chairman's advanced age and health management needs, while emphasizing these points as part of its official position rather than as conclusions already determined by the court.
Respect for the Judicial Process While Preparing for Trial
The church's future response
The statement also emphasized that Shincheonji Church of Jesus respects judicial procedures.
According to the announcement, the church stated it would fully explain the facts during the main trial and focus its legal efforts on establishing what it described as the substantive truth. It also said the church would continue fulfilling its religious mission while practicing service and love according to the teachings of Jesus.
The news article also noted that the court issued the detention warrant after concluding there were concerns regarding possible destruction of evidence. In addition, the report stated that Chairman Man Hee Lee is under investigation on allegations including violations of the Political Parties Act and obstruction of business.
After reading the Official Statement, I felt that understanding an official announcement begins with reading its original content carefully before forming conclusions. Since judicial proceedings are still ongoing, the facts and legal arguments will continue to be addressed through the trial process.
For readers following this issue, reviewing official statements together with confirmed court developments provides a clearer understanding of the situation while avoiding unnecessary speculation.
