Yoon Suk Yeol pledges to resist arrest amid political turmoil in South Korea
Seoul: So, things are getting pretty intense in South Korea. President Yoon Suk Yeol is really digging in his heels, saying he’ll “fight to the end” as authorities are trying to arrest him. It’s wild!
His lawyers are warning that if police come for him, they might get into trouble too. Yoon’s supporters are rallying outside his home, waving flags and chanting for him. It’s like a scene out of a movie!
Yoon claims he’s up against “anti-state forces” that are threatening the country. His lawyers argue that the police don’t have the legal right to detain him. The Democratic Party is not having it, accusing him of trying to incite insurrection.
Despite the freezing weather, thousands of his supporters showed up, chanting things like “Nullify the impeachment.” It’s a big deal because he’s the first sitting president in South Korea to face arrest. That’s some serious history!
Yoon’s martial law declaration last month has stirred up a political storm, leading to protests and his impeachment. The National Assembly even voted to lift the martial law after just six hours, which is pretty quick for such a big decision.
Now, his lawyers are challenging the arrest warrant, saying it’s against the law. But if he gets detained, the anti-corruption agency has 48 hours to figure things out. It’s a tense waiting game right now!
