Prison: Lawyer and Captain

prison: She said the captain was briefly treated at a hospital for shock following his conviction, according to CTV. It's a ridiculous ruling, said lawyer Kim In-sook. A lawyer for the captain said her client was being punished for having consensual sex with his partner in a private space. She said the military penal code, which makes homosexual activity punishable by up to two years in prison, was unconstitutional because it tramples on basic human rights and dignity. Kim said it's unclear whether her client would appeal his six month prison sentence that was suspended by a year because he felt tormented by the legal process. South Korea's military, which doesn't reveal how often it pursues cases against soldiers suspected of being gay, didn't immediately make a statement. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
