South Korean police are investigating President Yoon Suk Yeol for “insurrection” after his declaration of martial law Tuesday. Under South Korean law, anyone found guilty of leading an insurrection may receive a death sentence. Yoon was forced to revoke his martial law order six hours after announcing it amid widespread opposition and protest. Opposition lawmakers introduced a motion to impeach Yoon, which is set to be voted on Saturday. This is lawmaker Kim Seung-won addressing the National Assembly.
Kim Seung-won: “It was a moment of military treason that we considered disappeared in the history. He has committed an unforgivable sin.”
