South Korean prosecutors have indicted impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol on serious charges of insurrection following his declaration of martial law on December 3. The decision to pursue these charges came after recommendations from anti-corruption investigators. The Democratic Party, through spokesperson Han Min-soo, emphasized the importance of accountability for Yoon, marking this indictment as a necessary step in addressing alleged high-level misconduct. Notably, insurrection charges are one of the few exceptions to presidential immunity in South Korea, carrying severe penalties such as life imprisonment or potentially death, though the latter has not been executed in recent decades.
