Listen

Rep. Roh Hoe-chan of the minor opposition Justice Party lies on newspapers to demonstrate the average floor space given to a prison inmate, 1.06 square meters, during a parliamentary inspection into the Board of Audit and Inspection in Seoul, Thursday. Former President Park Geun-hye, who has been jailed while on trial over a corruption scandal, claimed her human rights have been violated at the detention center, although the cell she occupies by herself is 10.08 square meters in area. / Yonhap
