South Korea Crisis Deepens as Yoon Faces Probe Over Martial Law
- PPP leader says Prime Minister Han to manage national affairs
- Opposition slams PPP’s plans, calling them unconstitutional
South Korea’s political crisis intensified after President Yoon Suk Yeol survived an impeachment vote on Saturday, with the prosecutors’ office reported to have opened an investigation into his role in last week’s brief imposition of martial law and arrested the former defense minister in connection with the declaration.
Park Se-hyun, chief of the Seoul High Prosecutors’ Office, opened the probe into Yoon after receiving several complaints, according to Yonhap News. The report followed the arrest hours earlier of ex-defense minister Kim Yong-hyun.
