A South Korean court on Thursday sentenced former President Yoon Suk Yeol to life imprisonment, ruling that his declaration of martial law in December 2024 was a deliberate attempt to incapacitate the National Assembly. Yoon had abruptly imposed the measure, citing the need to eliminate what he termed “anti-state forces.”
Presiding Judge Ji Gwi-yeon stated that Yoon “dispatched troops to the assembly building in an effort to silence his political opponents” and concluded that “the intention was to paralyse the assembly for a considerable period.”
The judge further noted, “The declaration of martial law resulted in enormous social costs, and it is difficult to find any indication that the defendant has expressed remorse for that.”
