South Korean National Assembly passes resolution demanding arrest of President Yoon

Báo Thanh niênBáo Thanh niên10/12/2024

On December 10, the South Korean National Assembly passed a bill to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of martial law, and also passed a resolution demanding the arrest of Mr. Yoon and seven other officials.


The decision was made by the South Korean National Assembly during a meeting on December 10, following developments after President Yoon imposed martial law. The bill was passed with 210 votes in favor and 63 votes against, Yonhap News Agency reported.

Also on December 10, the South Korean National Assembly passed a resolution requesting the emergency arrest of President Yoon and seven other officials. The resolution of the South Korean National Assembly currently has no legal value and will still need to be proposed, reviewed by competent authorities and introduced at a plenary session similar to a bill.

In addition to Mr. Yoon, the special prosecutor will also investigate former South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun and Army Chief of Staff Park An-su, along with several officials related to the president's controversial decision. South Korean Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, head of the military's counterintelligence agency Yeo In-hyung and former People Power Party (PPP) parliamentary leader Choo Kyung-ho are also under investigation.

One notable point is that the National Assembly will appoint a “permanent special prosecutor,” which is different from a regular special prosecutor in that the president will not have the power to veto the bill, except to delay the appointment. December 10 also marks the last day of the first regular session of the 22nd National Assembly of South Korea.

Impeachment vote fails, South Korean president temporarily escapes

Investigators have previously looked into whether Yoon ordered the military's counterintelligence agency to draft martial law documents, or whether the South Korean president ordered the arrest of lawmakers and party officials.

In a related development, the commander of the South Korean Army Special Warfare Command, Lieutenant General Kwak Jong-keun, said that former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun had ordered the military to block 150 lawmakers from entering the National Assembly building on the night of December 3 when Yoon issued the order. According to the South Korean constitution, at least 150 votes from lawmakers are needed to propose lifting martial law.
