South Korea in Turmoil: Impeached President Faces Arrest Over Martial Law Decree

The South Korean anti-corruption agency has announced that the Seoul Western District Court has issued warrants to detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol and search his office. This follows Yoon's martial law decree, and his powers have been suspended pending a Constitutional Court decision on his presidency.

In a dramatic development in South Korea's political landscape, the anti-corruption agency announced on Tuesday that a court has issued warrants to detain the impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol and search his presidential office.

The Seoul Western District Court's decision comes after the President's controversial martial law declaration earlier this month. Yoon's powers remain suspended following an impeachment vote by the National Assembly, controlled by the opposition.

Despite his presidential immunity, Yoon faces allegations of rebellion, prompting the investigation. However, a resolution remains pending as the Constitutional Court deliberates on his potential dismissal or reinstatement as president.
