Prosecutors said Friday they have accepted the former Prime Minister Han Myeong-sook's request to delay the execution of a prison sentence delivered to her by the top court the previous day for bribery.
  

The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office said Han will show up at the Seoul Detention Center by 2 p.m. Monday after she goes through some medical checkups and wraps up her work as a former lawmaker. 
  

On Thursday, the Supreme Court sentenced Han, who was prime minister from 2006 to 2007 under the late liberal President Roh Moo-hyun, to two years behind bars for accepting bribes as political funds from the head of a local construction company.
  

She was convicted of receiving 880 million won ($760,000) in illicit political funds during the presidential campaign in 2007.
  

The first trial at a district court began five years ago and hearings at the Supreme Court took nearly two years.
  

Meanwhile, Han served most of her term as a member of the 19th National Assembly, which was set till May 2016.
  

The sentence deprived Han of her parliamentary seat, reducing the number of seats held by the main opposition New Politics Alliance for Democracy  to 128.
  

The South Korean law takes away a lawmaker's legislative seat if he or she is found guilty of violating election law or if they are sentenced to prison terms or harsher punishments. (Yonhap)
