South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol tried to demolish his country’s democracy. In a shocking late-night television address, Yoon declared “emergency martial law” and put the country under military rule.

KABUL (Pajhwok): Following his abortive attempt to impose martial law, South Korea’s impeached president has been charged with insurrection. Yoon Suk Yeol became the first South Korean president to be charged with a crime after he tried in December last year to impose military rule, throwing he country into political tumult.

Law enforcement authorities have requested a warrant to formally arrest impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who is spending his third day at a detention center after his lawyers failed in a last-minute attempt to secure his release.
