Arrest warrant against South Korea's President Yoon; people rally near his Seoul residence | N18G

On December 31, 2024, a South Korean court approved an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was impeached and suspended from power over his decision to impose martial law on December 3. This marks the first time in South Korean history that an arrest warrant has been issued for an incumbent president. Yoon is under investigation for possible insurrection charges, as his martial law decree briefly saw military troops clash with parliament staff. The martial law was quickly repealed after a parliamentary vote, but it shocked the nation and alarmed international allies. Yoon has failed to respond to multiple summonses for questioning. The investigation is ongoing, with police having unsuccessfully attempted to raid the presidential office. A Constitutional Court trial has commenced to decide whether Yoon will be reinstated or permanently removed from office, with a decision expected within 180 days. The court’s next hearing is set for January 3.
