The South Korean parliament has passed a bill to appoint a special counsel to investigate President Yoon Suk-yeol over his controversial declaration of martial law.
Lawmakers acted after President Yoon reversed his martial law decision in the face of parliamentary opposition, sparking widespread investigations into his administration.
The bill proposes investigating other officials including former Defence Minister Kim Yong-hyun for complicity in recommending martial law and obstructing parliamentary processes.
A protester held a sign labeling Yoon as 'Leader of insurgents' as part of ongoing demonstrations calling for his resignation amidst the political turmoil.
