South Korea Authorities Arrive To Arrest Impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol

South Korea Authorities Arrive To Arrest Impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol

Seoul:

Authorities in Seoul attempted to execute an arrest warrant for impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Friday, leading to a standoff between protesters and police outside his residence. The protesters vowed to block any attempt to arrest Yoon, who is facing criminal investigation for insurrection related to his failed martial law attempt on Dec. 3. If arrested, it would be unprecedented for an incumbent South Korean president.

The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO), along with the police and prosecutors, arrived at Yoon’s compound early in the morning to carry out the arrest. Reports indicated that around 3,000 police officers were mobilized for the operation.

Despite the presence of investigating authorities, it remained uncertain whether the Presidential Security Service would allow the arrest to take place. Media reports suggested that the CIO vehicles did not immediately enter the compound.

Protesters gathered near Yoon’s residence in anticipation of the arrest, with their numbers growing as reports of the impending arrest circulated. Some protesters attempted to block the police officers at the entrance to an overpass, chanting slogans in support of President Yoon.

Amidst the chaos, Pyeong In-su, 74, expressed his belief that patriotic citizens needed to intervene to prevent the arrest. Holding flags of the United States and South Korea, Pyeong hoped that incoming U.S. President Donald Trump would intervene in the situation.

Yoon had caused a stir in the country with his announcement of martial law on Dec. 3, which was later rescinded after facing strong opposition from lawmakers. He defended his decision by accusing domestic political opponents of being sympathetic to North Korea and alleging election tampering.

Yoon’s lawyers argued that the arrest warrant was illegal and invalid, questioning the authority of the CIO to request it under South Korean law.

Since his impeachment and suspension from power on Dec. 14, Yoon has been isolated. His impeachment case is currently being deliberated by the Constitutional Court to determine whether he will be reinstated or permanently removed. A second hearing on the case is scheduled for later on Friday.
