South Korea Prepares to Arrest Impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol

Yoon faces charges of insurrection after a failed martial law declaration, with investigators vowing to execute the arrest warrant by January 6.

Yoon Suk Yeol, South Korea's impeached president, is accused of insurrection for his December 3 martial law declaration, which was swiftly overturned by parliament.
The arrest warrant, issued on December 31, marks the first time in South Korean history that a sitting president could be detained.
Yoon's legal team has contested the validity of the warrant, calling it illegal, while his supporters and opponents have staged protests outside his residence.
Acting President Choi Sang-mok has appointed two new Constitutional Court justices, a move expected to expedite the impeachment review process.
The Constitutional Court has until mid-June to decide whether to uphold Yoon’s impeachment, which would permanently remove him from office.
