Yoon supporters storm Seoul court after his detainment period is extended
ai generated text
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been arrested on suspicion of declaring martial law, a move that could result in his imprisonment. The decision to arrest Yoon was made after a week-long standoff between investigators and his security team. A judge has issued a warrant allowing investigators to hold Yoon in custody for up to 20 days. Yoon's supporters have reacted violently to his detention, with some throwing objects and using fire extinguishers. The arrest has triggered unrest at the Seoul Western District Court, with at least two vehicles carrying anti-corruption investigators being damaged. Yoon himself appeared before a judge, arguing for his release.
We will track down till the end more of those who committed illegal acts or instigated and assisted.
There's a question whether repercussions of detaining a sitting president were sufficiently considered.
I urge police to firmly enforce the law so that forces supporting rebellion will never even think of causing turmoil again.
Such expressions of anger are understandable, but if they go too far and continue to be violent, they could be caught up in targeted attacks or counter-attacks by leftist forces.
