South Korean Court Orders Release of Impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol

The decision cancels Yoon's arrest warrant, allowing him to await his impeachment verdict outside of detention.

President Yoon Suk Yeol was detained in January on insurrection charges related to his December martial law declaration.
The Seoul Central District Court ruled that the arrest warrant was procedurally flawed and canceled it on Friday.
Yoon’s lawyers argued that the charges and warrant were invalid due to jurisdictional and procedural errors.
The release enables Yoon to await the Constitutional Court’s decision on his impeachment from home.
The ruling has drawn mixed reactions, with Yoon's supporters celebrating and opposition figures expressing dismay.
