People watching a live television broadcast of National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-Shik speaking about South Korea President Yoon Suk Yeol at a train station in Seoul on December 6. — AFP picas a first-time user . Exclusively for Malay Mail readers: Use codeSEOUL, Dec 6 — South Korea ’s ruling party chief demanded today that President Yoon Suk Yeol be stripped of office, warning there was a “significant risk” he could try to impose martial law again.
Han said that “credible evidence” suggested that Yoon had ordered the arrest of “key politicians” and for them to be placed in a holding facility. “While there may still be a few ruling party members supporting Yoon Suk Yeol, it seems that Han’s statements today are significantly influenced by the gravity of the situation, particularly the mobilisation of intelligence agencies to arrest politicians,” Shin Yul, professor of political science at Myongji University, told AFP.
The decision was made in response to “a lot of tips the party has received” regarding a potential second attempt by Yoon to declare martial law, Jo said. Park said Thursday he was kept in the dark until after the president had announced the imposition of martial law on live television late Tuesday.
