Summary
Suspended South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol faces allegations of ordering the military to use force, including guns, to remove lawmakers voting on his martial law decree on December 3.
Prosecutors claim Yoon directed troops to “break down doors” and forcibly drag MPs out, actions reportedly supported by former defense minister Kim Yong-hyun, who also faces charges.
Yoon’s declaration of martial law, widely condemned as unconstitutional, led to his impeachment and weeks of political instability, including rival protests, economic turmoil, and the impeachment of acting president Han Duck-soo.
The constitutional court will determine Yoon’s fate.
Yoon Suk Yeol somehow makes Trump’s insurrection look like a perfectly planned tactical operation. It really seems like he just woke up one day and decided to try and steal the goverment
I hope this at least makes idiot leaders understand that if they order the military to do something wrong the members will not follow it at some point down the chain.
