South Korean President Yoon Indicted for Insurrection Over Martial Law Decree

South Korea’s impeached president, Yoon Suk Yeol, has been indicted on charges of insurrection following his brief imposition of martial law in December. His decision, which sought to control political and media activities, triggered a political crisis. If convicted, Yoon could face a lengthy prison sentence. This marks a significant development, as it’s one of the few crimes for which a South Korean president is not immune. His trial continues while a constitutional court determines his status as president.
