Protests Erupt Over Impeachment of Yoon Suk-yeol
In South Korea, thousands protested on Saturday demanding the arrest of impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol, following a failed attempt by investigators to detain him due to his controversial martial law declaration that led to political turmoil. Yoon's supporters also rallied, with around 1,000 gathering outside his residence to defend him, citing national security concerns amidst a backdrop of rapid political instability. The confrontation escalated when Yoon's security guards blocked investigators from entering his residence, resulting in the withdrawal of the Corruption Investigation Office due to safety concerns. This unprecedented political crisis has seen two presidents impeached in a month, and Yoon now faces serious charges including insurrection, which are not covered by presidential immunity. If arrested, Yoon would be the first sitting South Korean president to face such consequences, with implications for the country's leadership and international relations. The situation remains tense as police prepare to investigate those involved in obstructing the arrest attempt.
