South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s Arrest Attempt Called Off Amid Standoff
Investigators in South Korea have suspended an attempt to arrest impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, who is under criminal investigation for insurrection over his failed bid to impose martial law. The attempt was halted due to a standoff at his residence, which involved his security forces blocking access. Yoon’s lawyers argue that the arrest warrant is invalid. The situation has sparked protests from his supporters, highlighting the political tensions in the nation following Yoon’s controversial martial law declaration in December.
