Seoul Western District Court approved an arrest warrant requested by investigators examining Yoon’s short-lived imposition of martial law. Yoon is facing an investigation into allegations that he was the leader of an insurrection. His trial on impeachment is being heard at the Constitutional Court. The arrest warrant for an incumbent president is unprecedented. Prime Minister Han DucK-soo, who took over from Yoon as acting president, has also been impeached by parliament, which is dominated by the opposition. The current arrest warrant is viable until Jan 6 and gives investigators only 48 hours to hold Yoon after he is arrested. Hundreds of Yoon supporters gathered outside his residence on Tuesday to protest against the warrant, some tussling with police. So far, prosecutors have indicted three top defense officials in connection with Yoon’s martial law.
