A South Korean court has annulled the detention warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, who had been incarcerated since mid-January on insurrection charges linked to his martial law attempt in December. The Seoul central district court deemed the detention unconstitutional, citing procedural errors in the handling of Yoon's case. As a result, Yoon is poised for release, although he still faces serious criminal charges that could lead to life imprisonment or death. Supporters gathered outside the detention center, highlighting the public's attention surrounding the president's situation.
"The Seoul central district court accepted Yoon's petition to cancel his custody in a ruling delivered on Friday, paving the way for his potential release."
"Yoon's legal team welcomed the court's decision as confirming that the rule of law is still alive in this country and demanded that prosecutors should immediately order the president's release."
