South Korea.. Issuing an arrest warrant against the former Defense Minister

A South Korean court issued an arrest warrant for the former defense minister in connection with the imposition of martial law last week.
The Seoul Central District Court confirmed that it granted prosecutors’ request to issue an arrest warrant for Kim Young-hyun.
Kim faces accusations that he colluded with President Yoon Suk-yeol and others in imposing martial law on December 3, which led to the deployment of armed forces in the streets of the capital, Seoul.

Martial law in Korea

Authorities are investigating to determine whether their actions amount to rebellion, and Kim became the first person to be arrested in this case.
In the same context, the head of the corruption investigation agency in South Korea said on Monday that he had issued a travel ban on the country’s president, Yeon Suk-yeol, due to the martial law decree.
The main opposition Democratic Party and five other opposition parties earlier put forward a proposal to impeach the president, claiming that Yoon’s declaration of martial law constitutes a violation of the constitution.
