Ex-President Yoon Resists Questioning, Legal Debate Grows

News summary

Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, already in detention, has resisted prosecutors' attempts to question him on election tampering and insurrection charges by lying on his cell floor in his underwear and refusing to cooperate with a new arrest warrant. Authorities, citing safety concerns, have so far avoided using physical force but have warned they may do so in future attempts if Yoon continues to resist. Yoon was initially detained in January for attempting to impose martial law and subvert civilian rule, briefly released on procedural grounds, and then re-arrested due to fears he might destroy evidence. His legal team has criticized prosecutors for publicly discussing his condition and attire, calling it humiliating and insensitive to his health. Meanwhile, his wife, Kim Keon Hee, faces unrelated corruption allegations. The case has ignited public debate in South Korea about the balance between legal procedures and human dignity.
