South Korean Investigators Plan to Arrest Impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol This Week Amid Internal Unrest
Jan 13, 2025, 01:05 AM
South Korean investigators are preparing to execute an arrest warrant against impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, with plans to arrest him as early as this week. The move follows ongoing impeachment proceedings and rival protests in Seoul, where thousands rallied against Yoon's martial law decree. The Presidential Security Service has been urged to cooperate with the arrest, with warnings of potential criminal charges for obstruction. The situation has led to internal unrest within the security service, with reports of Yoon instructing security personnel to use weapons, including knives, to prevent his arrest by police. This has caused significant concern and dissent among the security staff. Additionally, the arrest warrant for Yoon's security chief, Kim Seong-hoon, has been requested, adding to the tension within the security service.
