Jisoo Han (Korean: 한지수; RR: Han Ji-su; born c. October 1983) is a South Korean underwater diving instructor who was held in Honduras. She was jailed for 110 days and was placed under house arrest for 306 days in connection with the death of Dutch tourist Mariska Mast at the Honduran island of Roatán.[1] Han proclaimed her innocence and appealed to roommate Daniel Ian Ross, a suspect in the case who fled to Australia, to come forward and exonerate her.[2]
Han's uncle Sung-ho Choi filed petitions for her release with Amnesty International.[3] The case was brought to the attention of South Korean president Lee Myung-bak and Honduran president Porfirio Lobo Sosa.[4] On October 16, 2010, Han was acquitted of the murder and remains in Honduras pending the outcome of an appeal by the prosecution.[5][6][needs update]
