South Korea's President indicted over martial law attempt

Yoon Suk Yeol has become the first sitting president in South Korea's history to be charged with a crime, according to various reports. The indictment follows his declaration of martial law on December 3, which was voted down by the Assembly, forcing him to rescind the measure. Prosecutors have charged him with leading an insurrection, with some reports describing him as the "ringleader" of the insurrection. Yoon's defense team denies the charges and condemns the prosecutors, while the Democratic Party has welcomed the indictment, calling it a "punishment" for the president's actions.
