South Korea Seeks Arrest of Impeached President Yoon for Authorizing Military Force in Martial Law Attempt
Dec 30, 2024, 01:42 AM
South Korean prosecutors have accused President Yoon Suk Yeol of authorizing the military to open fire to enter parliament during his failed attempt to impose martial law on December 3. According to prosecutors' reports, Yoon permitted the military to use force, including firing weapons if necessary, to enforce the short-lived decree. Following his impeachment and suspension from office earlier in December, investigators are determining whether his actions amounted to rebellion. Authorities have requested an arrest warrant for Yoon after he repeatedly declined to appear for questioning. The joint investigation unit's request marks the first time authorities have attempted to detain a sitting South Korean president before the impeachment process is complete, intensifying the political crisis in the country.
