Military Blocks Arrest of Impeached South Korean President Yoon After Seven-Hour Standoff
Jan 3, 2025, 05:16 AM
South Korean investigators from the anti-corruption agency attempted to arrest impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol at his residence over his failed martial law bid, but were blocked by a military unit inside the official residence compound, leading to a tense seven-hour standoff. Yoon's lawyer called the arrest warrant 'illegal and invalid,' threatening legal action against attempts to detain him. Approximately 2,700 police officers were involved in the operation. Hundreds of supporters gathered outside his residence in Seoul during the standoff, vowing to protect him from arrest. Ultimately, authorities suspended their attempt to detain the president due to safety concerns.
