Impeached South Korean president arrives at court to argue against his arrest
- Impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol is facing charges of rebellion after he briefly imposed martial law in December 2024, leading to his impeachment by South Korea's parliament on December 14.
- A South Korean court extended Yoon's detention due to concerns he could destroy evidence, allowing pre-trial detention for up to 20 days starting from January 17, 2025.
- Supporters of Yoon protested at the court, breaking windows and equipment, resulting in almost 90 arrests during the incident.
- Yoon plans to argue the 'legitimacy of emergency martial law' in court, as an insurrection conviction could lead to life imprisonment or the death penalty.
