South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol Hospitalized Amid Impeachment Proceedings
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has been hospitalized, with the reason for his hospitalization remaining undisclosed, according to reports from Yonhap News Agency, citing his lawyer.
The development comes shortly after the Constitutional Court held its third hearing on the president’s impeachment.
Martial Law Controversy
During the court session, Yoon defended his actions, stating that he did not:
- Order the suspension of the National Assembly and other legislative bodies.
- Ban the activities of political parties.
- Instruct the arrest of political leaders during his martial law declaration.
On December 3, Yoon declared martial law, alleging that the opposition was colluding with North Korea and plotting a “rebellion.”
However, the parliament defied his declaration and voted to lift martial law hours later.
Yoon subsequently complied with the parliament’s decision and issued an apology to the nation.
Impeachment Proceedings
On December 14, the South Korean parliament voted to impeach Yoon, marking a dramatic turn in the nation’s political landscape.
The impeachment trial is currently underway at the Constitutional Court, with widespread public and political interest in its outcome.
More updates are expected as the situation develops.
