SEOUL, February 19 (Xinhua) — Former South Korean President Yun Seok-yul has been sentenced to life imprisonment for inciting rebellion following his declaration of a state of emergency. The announcement was made live on television.
The Seoul Central District Court issued its ruling, stating that the crux of the case regarding martial law imposed by Yun Seok-yul was that troops were deployed outside the National Assembly building.
The court explained that declaring martial law constitutes rebellion if it infringes on the powers of the National Assembly, noting that Yun Seok-yeol had attempted to prevent the parliament from functioning normally for a significant period of time.
Yun Seok-yeol was also accused of mobilizing troops and police operating under martial law to obstruct the implementation of the National Assembly's decision to lift martial law, as well as attempting to detain key political figures, namely the leaders of major political parties and the Speaker of the House. –0–
