Stabbed South Korean opposition leader 'recovering well': doctor

South Korean opposition party leader Lee Jae-myung, who was stabbed in the neck, is "recovering well" but still needs close monitoring to avoid complications, according to a Seoul National University Hospital doctor.

Lee was surrounded by journalists in Busan on January 2 when a man pretending to be a supporter pushed through the crowd and stabbed him on the left side of his neck with a knife.
