South Korea's Yoon Refuses Questioning Amid Insurrection Charges, Faces 20-Day Detention Extension
Jan 16, 2025, 09:51 PM
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, detained on charges of leading an insurrection, has refused to attend questioning by the Corruption Investigation Office (CIO) for the third consecutive day. Yoon was arrested following his brief declaration of martial law last month, which led to his impeachment. The Seoul Central District Court dismissed Yoon's petition challenging the legality of his detention, affirming the CIO's authority to investigate. The CIO is preparing to request an arrest warrant from the Seoul Western District Court, which could extend Yoon's detention by up to 20 days. The deadline for this request is set for 9:05 p.m. local time on the day of the report.
