Yoon Suk Yeol, who previously held the presidency in South Korea, is scheduled to enter a criminal courtroom on April 14 to face charges of insurrection. This trial arises from his attempted declaration of martial law on December 3, which he justified by suspending political activities and imposing media censorship, actions that triggered a political crisis in the nation.
The decree imposed by Yoon was extremely short-lived, lasting only six hours before it was rejected by members of the opposition in the National Assembly. This failed measure led to his impeachment, and on April 4, the Constitutional Court officially removed him from his presidential role. Although Yoon has been stripped of his presidential powers, he is now confronted with serious legal repercussions stemming from his actions during that turbulent period.

He probably had good intentions, just maybe handled things the wrong way.

This is a blatant abuse of power. I hope he faces the full consequences of his actions.

This is why we need a strong justice system. To hold corrupt leaders accountable!

Good that the National Assembly stood up against his power grab. They saved the country.

Martial law? Media censorship? This is exactly what dictators do. Shameful.
