South Korea's special prosecution team has filed a request to detain former President Yoon Suk Yeol on charges related to insurrection stemming from his declaration of martial law in December 2024. Following this request, a Seoul court approved a fresh arrest warrant for Yoon, marking his second detention in connection with the case. The charges include obstruction of official duties and other allegations linked to his brief imposition of martial law. Yoon denies the accusations. The special counsel investigating the matter renewed efforts to detain Yoon after his initial questioning by prosecutors. The case has drawn significant legal attention as authorities pursue accountability for the controversial martial law decree issued last year.
