Historic Arrest Warrant Issued for South Korean President Yoon

South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol faces unprecedented legal action as a court approves an arrest warrant amid investigations into martial law imposition. The move marks a significant moment in the country's political landscape with potential insurrection charges against the sitting president.

In a groundbreaking decision, a South Korean court approved an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, marking the first time such legal action has been taken against a sitting president in the country.

The warrant follows Yoon's impeachment and suspension from power over his imposition of martial law on December 3, as confirmed by the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials.

With a criminal investigation underway into potential insurrection charges, authorities sought the warrant to delve deeper into Yoon's controversial actions. The Seoul Western District Court, however, declined to offer further comment on the ongoing judicial proceedings.
