South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested on Wednesday, becoming the first sitting leader in the country’s history to face detention. Authorities detained Yoon a month after his brief declaration of martial law, following his impeachment by the opposition-led assembly on December 14 for alleged rebellion. Yoon voluntarily appeared at the investigators’ office, stating in a pre-recorded video that he rejected the investigation’s legitimacy but complied to prevent “bloodshed.” He accused the government of undermining the “rule of law.” Under the current warrant, Yoon can be held for 48 hours, with investigators needing a new warrant to extend custody. South Korean Authorities Attempt to Arrest Impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol As Protesters Face Off With Police.
