South Korea's President Yoon attends trial hearing for insurrection charge

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is facing a trial for charges of insurrection, marking the country's first instance of a sitting head of state being put on trial. The 64-year-old, who is a former prosecutor, was arrested last month and has been in jail ever since. Prosecutors have accused him of leading a riot through the imposition of martial law, which could result in years of imprisonment if he is convicted. The trial proceedings began on Thursday at Seoul's Central District Court.
