South Korea President Yoon indicted for insurrection over martial law decree



South Korea’s prosecutors have indicted impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol on charges of leading an insurrection with his brief imposition of martial law. Yoon’s lawyers criticized the indictment while the main opposition party welcomed it. If convicted, Yoon could face years in prison for his actions, which caused political upheaval in the country. The charges are unprecedented for a South Korean president. Yoon argued that his declaration of martial law was a desperate plea to the public during a national crisis. The Constitutional Court will decide whether to remove him from office. If removed, a presidential election will be held within 60 days.
