South Korea Court Reinstates PM Han Duck-soo

News summary

South Korea's Constitutional Court has overturned the impeachment of Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, reinstating him as acting president after he was suspended by the National Assembly in December. Han assumed the role following the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol, who was charged with imposing martial law, sparking a political crisis. The court's decision to reinstate Han was not unanimous, with a 5-1 vote in favor of dismissing the impeachment. Han had been accused of failing to prevent Yoon's martial law declaration and for not appointing justices to the Constitutional Court, but he denied involvement in the martial law episode and called for the dismissal of his impeachment. The court has yet to rule on Yoon's impeachment, which could lead to a new presidential election if upheld. South Korea remains politically divided, with significant public demonstrations for and against Yoon's presidency.
