South Korea’s Yoon in Court Again for Impeachment Hearings

South Korea’s impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, who has been arrested and suspended from duties over his declaration of martial law, was in court again Tuesday for hearings that will decide whether to officially remove him from office.

The former prosecutor plunged democratic South Korea into political turmoil when he declared martial law on December 3, suspending civilian rule and sending soldiers to parliament.

His attempt to impose martial law only lasted around six hours as the opposition-led parliament defied troops to vote it down, and later impeached him over the move.
