South Korea Detains Top Police Officials for First Time Over Martial Law Enforcement
Dec 11, 2024, 01:01 AM
South Korea's national police chief and the top officer for Seoul have been detained for their roles in enforcing a short-lived martial law decree last week. The arrests are linked to an investigation into the botched imposition of martial law, where the officers are suspected of obstructing members of parliament from entering the National Assembly. This marks the first time that such high-ranking police officials have been detained in connection with an alleged insurrection.
