South Korea's impeached President Yoon released from prison
ai generated text
Yoon Suk Yeol, the impeached President of South Korea, has been released from prison after a court cancelled his arrest warrant. Yoon was being held on charges of insurrection for declaring martial law in December, and had been in detention since January. His criminal and impeachment trials continue, and he remains suspended from his duties.
The Emergency Martial Law Special Investigation Headquarters has sent a release order for President Yoon to Seoul Detention Center today.
The prosecution must immediately appeal, to ensure a ruling that aligns with the public's sense of justice.
Although overdue, this is a very welcome decision.
I bow my head in gratitude to the people of this nation.
I would also like to express my deep gratitude to the many citizens who have supported me despite the cold weather, as well as to our future generations.
