South Korea President Yoon Suk Yeol Arrested

South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested as part of an investigation into allegations of insurrection related to his controversial martial law declaration on December 3. This unprecedented arrest makes Yoon the first sitting president in South Korea to be detained, following weeks of political turmoil and failed attempts to apprehend him at his fortified residence. Yoon is currently being questioned by the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials and is expected to be held in a solitary cell at a detention center. Authorities have 48 hours to question him before they must seek a warrant for further detention. His lawyers have argued that the attempts to detain him are illegal, highlighting the ongoing tensions surrounding his leadership. The situation reflects significant political unrest in South Korea, with observers concerned about the implications for the nation's democratic institutions.
