On December 10, South Korea's Parliament Calls for Immediate Arrest of President Yoon Suk-yeol and Seven Officials in 191-94 Vote
Dec 10, 2024, 07:43 AM
On December 10, 2024, South Korea's National Assembly passed a resolution calling for the immediate arrest of President Yoon Suk-yeol and seven other officials. This decision follows a controversial martial law declaration made on December 3, which has been criticized as botched and unconstitutional. The resolution was approved with a vote of 191 in favor, 94 against, and 3 abstentions. In addition, the parliament approved a bill to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the circumstances surrounding the martial law declaration. The move is seen as a response to concerns regarding the fairness of the investigation, given President Yoon's previous role as a former prosecutor general.
