Cheong Wa Dae’s petition for a’special pardon’ and’parallel release’ is coming up against Lee Jae-yong, vice chairman of Samsung Electronics, who was sentenced to two years and six months in prison at a repatriation trial for the destruction of the Gukjeong Nongdan.

On the 19th, a petition with the headline’I earnestly request the pardon and release of Samsung General Lee Jae-yong’ was posted on the Blue House National Petition Bulletin.

Petitioner Won-in said, “Now, Korea is struggling with an unprecedented economic crisis,” and asked, “Is the arrest of the head of the Samsung Group, who is in charge of the Korean economy in such a situation, is the right choice?” “Former President Park Geun-hye also argued that in a situation where some talks of amnesty are coming out, the restraint of vice chairman Lee Jae-yong is too harsh,” he argued, “the loss will be enormous.” Currently, this article has been changed to private.

On the 18th, when Vice Chairman Lee was sentenced to imprisonment, an article titled’I request a special pardon from Section 3 and 1 of Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong’ was posted on the public petition bulletin board.

The petitioner of this article also said, “I think that Vice Chairman Lee should give him the opportunity to fully exercise ownership so that he can overcome the Corona 19 crisis and play a leading role in Korea’s economic ecosystem.” “I sincerely ask for a special pardon in verse 3 and 1 so that we can overcome it and brighten Korea.”

In a phone call with the JoongAng Ilbo, Sohn Wook, former head of the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, said, “It is a moment when the President’s decision is necessary,” and “Please make a decision to pardon Lee for the future of the country.”

“In the era of the 4th industrial revolution, the speed of technological development is so fast that if a company’s decision-making is delayed for a month or two, it falls to an irrecoverable level.” It can be done, but I hope the President will decide to pardon for the lives of the people and for the national economy.”
