South Korean prosecutors accuse the dismissed president

South Korean prosecutors accused the dismissed president Yoon Suk Yeol on Sunday for his imposition of the Martial Law last month, according to press reports.

Yonhap news agency reported that the Prosecutor’s Office of the Central District of Seoul accused Yoon of rebellion in relation to its December 3 decree that plunged the country into a massive political agitation. Other media of South Korea have published similar reports.

Repeated calls to the Prosecutor’s Office did not get an answer.

Previously, Yoon was accused and arrested by the martial law decree.

The Constitutional Court is deliberating separately whether to formally dismiss Yoon as president or restore it.

Yoon, a conservative, has flatly denied having acted badly and has described his martial law as a legitimate act of government aimed at creating public awareness about the danger of the National Assembly controlled by the Liberals, who obstructed his agenda and dismissed senior officials.

During his announcement of the martial law, Yoon called the Assembly “a den of criminals” and promised to eliminate the “shameless followers of North Korea and the antistatal forces.”
