Seoul, South Korea – South Korean President Yoon Seok-young has been arrested following an unsuccessful attempt to impose martial law. The dramatic turn of events unfolded as investigators used ladders to climb onto the grounds of President Yoon's residence after he failed to attend an impeachment hearing.
The arrest comes just six weeks after Yoon Seok-young imposed martial law, a move that was swiftly lifted by the country's National Assembly. The Joint Investigative Headquarters issued an arrest warrant for President Yoon Seok-young today, January 15th, at 10:33 a.m. local time (01:30 GMT). The authorities, who are investigating Yoon's case on charges of rebellion, released a statement confirming the arrest.
The situation highlights a period of political turmoil in South Korea, as the nation grapples with the aftermath of the attempted martial law and the subsequent impeachment proceedings. The arrest of the ousted president marks a significant development in the ongoing investigation and underscores the country's commitment to upholding the rule of law.
