Yoon Suk Yeol's Detention Under Investigation

Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, the first sitting president in the nation's history to be arrested, is currently detained over charges related to his attempt to impose martial law in December. Following his arrest on January 15, Yoon has refused to participate in questioning by the Corruption Investigation Office, citing health issues, which has raised concerns about the ongoing investigation into accusations of insurrection. A South Korean court has upheld the legality of his detention, and Yoon's lawyers have challenged the validity of the arrest warrant, claiming jurisdictional issues. The political crisis has escalated as the Constitutional Court prepares for a second hearing to decide Yoon's impeachment fate. With the investigation expected to continue, Yoon's refusal to cooperate hampers efforts to clarify the circumstances surrounding his martial law declaration. His legal team has indicated that they will continue to contest the charges against him.
