South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol Faces Unprecedented Arrest Amid Insurrection Probe
Authorities in South Korea attempted to execute an arrest warrant against impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, who is under investigation for insurrection following a failed martial law declaration. The arrest was met with resistance from presidential security forces and widespread protests. Yoon’s lawyers claim the arrest warrant is unlawful, while supporters demand his protection. This situation marks a historic moment, as it would be the first arrest of an incumbent South Korean president. The political turmoil continues with Yoon’s impeachment case pending in the Constitutional Court.
