Impeached South Korean President Yoon Arrested

In a historic development, impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been arrested on insurrection charges linked to his brief imposition of martial law. This marks the first instance of a sitting South Korean president being detained, intensifying the nation’s political crisis.

Yoon’s arrest follows widespread protests and allegations of abuse of power during his tenure. The charges stem from his controversial decision to impose martial law in response to civil unrest, a move that critics argue violated democratic principles.

The situation has plunged South Korea into political turmoil, with calls for systemic reforms and accountability. The legal proceedings against Yoon are expected to set significant precedents for executive accountability in the country.
