Jan 2, 2025, 05:14 AM
South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol has vowed to 'fight until the end' as he resists arrest over his failed attempt to impose martial law on December 3, 2024. Yoon, who has been impeached by the National Assembly, remains inside his residence in Seoul, defying authorities for a third day. The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials has until January 6 to execute a detainment warrant issued by a Seoul court. Yoon's martial law decree, which lasted only hours, led to his impeachment and has sparked significant political turmoil in the country. His legal team has challenged the validity of the arrest warrant, arguing that the anti-corruption agency lacks the authority to investigate rebellion charges. Meanwhile, supporters and opponents of Yoon have gathered outside his residence, contributing to the tense standoff.
