Court cancels bail granted to Unification Church leader

The Korea Times reports that a court in Seoul has canceled bail granted to Unification Church leader Han Hak-ja after she violated the conditions of her release. The 83-year-old, who was previously sentenced to two years in prison for corruption charges including bribery, was found to have visited a Unification Church compound, leading to the revocation of her bail.
