South Korea court issues arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon

President Yoon Suk Yeol is facing a potential arrest warrant in South Korea due to allegations of abuse of authority and inciting an insurrection. He was impeached by parliament earlier this month over his decision to briefly suspend civilian rule and impose martial law, which plunged the country into its worst political crisis in decades. The Joint Investigation Headquarters filed a warrant to arrest Yoon, which was approved by the Seoul Western District Court. This marks the first time a sitting South Korean president has faced an arrest warrant. Yoon has ignored three summonses to appear for questioning and has been stripped of his presidential powers.
