SEOUL, July 10 (Xinhua) — The Seoul Central District Court has issued an arrest warrant for former South Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol in connection with the martial law case last December, the Renhap News Agency reported. This is the politician's second arrest in the investigation.
The court issued the arrest warrant after a hearing on the request of special prosecutor Cho Eun-seok.
Yun Seok-yul faces five charges, including violating the rights of cabinet members by preventing most of them from attending a key meeting before martial law was declared on Dec. 3.
The former president is also accused of fabricating a document after martial law was declared and forcing then-Prime Minister and Defense Minister Han Deok-soo and Kim Yong-hyun to sign it.
Additional charges include spreading false statements to foreign media, directing aides to obstruct the politician's arrest in January and ordering the deletion of call records from secure phones.
Yun Seok-yeol denied all charges during the hearing and was later taken to a detention center in Uiwang, south of the capital.
The former president was first arrested in January this year but was released in March after the Seoul Central District Court overturned his detention. –0–
