JAKARTA - South Korean prosecutors have officially indicted President Yoon Suk Yeol for a case of rebellion related to the imposition of martial law in December 2024.
"The prosecutor has decided to indict Yoon Suk Yeol, who faces charges as the leader of the uprising," said Democratic Party spokesman Han Min-soo.
"The punishment against the leader of the uprising is now finally starting," added Min-soo
South Korean President Yoon declared martial law in his televised address on December 3, 2024.
The president said the action was necessary because of the actions of the liberal opposition in the country, the Democratic Party, which he accused of controlling parliament, sympathizing with North Korea and crippling the government.
