Yoon Suk Yeol Gets Five Years in First South Korea Martial Law Trial

#MyeongDong, #SouthKorea
A Seoul court sentenced Yoon Suk Yeol to five years in prison for obstruction of justice and fabricating documents during his failed 2024 martial law attempt.The verdict marks the first of eight criminal trials against the former leader, who also faces rebellion charges that could carry a life sentence or the death penalty.Prosecutors argue the decree was an illegal attempt to consolidate power, while the defense maintains the actions were a constitutional response to national security threats.
