South Korean Military Leaders Indicted Amid Yoon's Impeachment and Failed Arrest Attempt
Jan 4, 2025, 04:40 PM
South Korean prosecutors have indicted Army Chief Park An-su and Special Warfare Commander Kwak Jong-keun for their alleged roles in the brief imposition of martial law last month. The indictment follows a period of political turmoil sparked by President Yoon Suk-yeol's declaration of martial law on December 3, which led to his impeachment by parliament on December 14. The prosecutors secured an arrest warrant for Yoon, but a first attempt to arrest him failed due to a six-hour standoff at his residence, resisted by his security service and military troops. The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials has requested acting President Choi Sang-mok to order the presidential security service to comply with the arrest warrant. Amidst this crisis, South Korea has seen massive protests both in support of and against Yoon, reflecting deep societal divisions. The country awaits a decision from the Constitutional Court on Yoon's impeachment, expected by mid-June.
