  • The South Korean anti-corruption agency has requested police assistance to detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, following unsuccessful attempts to enforce a detention warrant.
  • The original arrest warrant, issued due to Yoon’s controversial martial law declaration, was due to expire shortly, prompting a request for an extension from the Seoul Western District Court.
  • This situation has escalated political turmoil in South Korea, with Yoon's declaration of martial law on December 3 leading to chaos and his subsequent impeachment by parliament.

  • The case has sparked widespread protests and stirred international attention, with concerns noted by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken during his visit to Seoul.
