South Korea’s Constitutional Court has dismissed the impeachment of Prime Minister Han Duck-soo Monday, reinstating him as acting president. Han took on the interim presidency after Yoon Suk Yeol was suspended over his short-lived declaration of martial law in December. Han has been accused of complicity in the failed martial law attempt and of refusing to appoint judges to the Constitutional Court. A ruling on Yoon’s fate is expected soon. Mass protests have taken over Seoul’s streets amid the deepening political turmoil.
