Yoon indicted for insurrection amid martial law crisis

Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been indicted on insurrection charges following his controversial declaration of martial law on December 3, which sparked widespread political turmoil. This indictment marks a historic moment as Yoon becomes the first sitting South Korean president to be indicted while in detention. Prosecutors allege that Yoon conspired with former officials to unlawfully impose martial law, which involved military actions against the parliament. Although Yoon has denied any wrongdoing, claiming his intentions were to combat 'anti-state forces,' his political future now rests with the Constitutional Court, which is reviewing his impeachment. The legal proceedings against Yoon have drawn sharp criticism from both the opposition and members of his own party, reflecting the deep divisions in South Korean politics. As the situation evolves, the implications of this unprecedented indictment on South Korea's political landscape remain to be seen.
