Science and ICT panel paralysed by row over Lee Jin-sook exit demand after May 18 forum

Ruling and opposition parties clashed on Aug. 19 during a full meeting of the National Assembly’s Science, ICT, Broadcasting and Communications Committee over a parliamentary forum on the May 18 Democratization Movement hosted by People Power Party lawmaker Lee Jin-sook. The Democratic Party said Lee insulted victims and bereaved families and demanded she step down from the committee and resign as a lawmaker. Lee rejected the claims and said she could not control the forum’s content.
