Summary
Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was detained following a large-scale law enforcement operation at his presidential residence.
Yoon, who declared martial law on Dec. 3 to counter an “anti-state” opposition, had defied multiple summons for questioning.
Law enforcement overcame barricades and resistance from Yoon’s security service, detaining him under accusations of rebellion.
The liberal opposition supports his arrest, while Yoon’s party calls it unlawful.
Yoon’s impeachment awaits a Constitutional Court ruling, which will decide whether he is formally removed or reinstated.
Please send the police here next.
i’m fucking jealous of South Korea
Ikr? SK showing us how it’s done, too bad the gov doesn’t care lol :(
I hate foreshadowing…
Here is an English live feed about the situation.
Investigators are already inside the residence and talked with Yoon and his group. They’re planning to hold a briefing shortly.
It would be quite restorative to release the video with some snappy outro music
That dragon tears song at the end of the Simpsons episode about Chinese adoption would be fitting
I thought Presidents were above the law?
The state is I.
