South Korea's impeached President Yoon detained in massive law-enforcement effort
Yoon was brought into custody about three hours after hundreds of law enforcement officers entered the residential compound in their second attempt to detain him.
Summary
Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was detained following a large-scale law enforcement operation at his presidential residence.
Yoon, who declared martial law on Dec. 3 to counter an "anti-state" opposition, had defied multiple summons for questioning.
Law enforcement overcame barricades and resistance from Yoon's security service, detaining him under accusations of rebellion.
The liberal opposition supports his arrest, while Yoon's party calls it unlawful.
Yoon’s impeachment awaits a Constitutional Court ruling, which will decide whether he is formally removed or reinstated.
South Korean president says he will lift martial law after lawmakers vote to reject his move
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol says he will soon lift the military rule he imposed overnight, after the parliament voted to reject his martial law declaration.
Summary (updated)
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law late Tuesday to counter "anti-state" forces, accusing opposition lawmakers of pro-North Korean sympathies.
Parliament, controlled by the opposition, quickly voted to nullify the declaration, calling it unconstitutional.
Protesters and lawmakers denounced Yoon's move as authoritarian, echoing South Korea's pre-democracy era.
Military personnel withdrew following the vote, and Yoon promised to lift martial law after a Cabinet meeting.
Critics warned of democratic backsliding. This marks South Korea's first martial law declaration since democratization in 1987.
