South Korean Court Rejects Impeached President Yoon's Objection to Detention Warrant on Insurrection and Treason Charges
Jan 5, 2025, 06:19 AM
A South Korean court has rejected an objection filed by President Yoon Suk Yeol's legal team against the execution of a detention warrant issued against him. The objection was dismissed by the Seoul Western District Court on January 5, 2025. The detention warrant, which remains valid until January 6, was issued following Yoon's impeachment on December 14, 2024, on charges of insurrection and treason. This marks the first time a sitting South Korean president has faced such charges. The court's decision comes amid ongoing legal proceedings, with Yoon awaiting a Constitutional Court trial that will determine his permanent removal from office or reinstatement.
