Overview

• Former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo appeared Tuesday for his first hearing on charges linked to the Dec. 3 martial law attempt.
• The court will record the session and release it after anonymization and other privacy edits under the special-counsel broadcast mandate.
• Presidential-office CCTV from Dec. 3 will be examined as evidence but kept off public footage at the prosecution’s request due to security classification.
• Han is indicted on counts including aiding an insurrection, perjury and falsifying documents, with prosecutors alleging he vetted the decree, ensured a quorum and sought ministers’ signatures.
• The broadcast approval comes after last week’s televised hearing for former President Yoon under the same law.
