South Korea ex-defence minister tries to take his own life over failed martial law
Wednesday, 11 December 2024 South Korea's former defence minister has tried to take his own life while being held in detention over his role in the failed imposition of martial law, officials have said.
South Korea's opposition leader, Lee Jae-myung, will push for another impeachment vote against President Yoon Suk-yeol. Protests grow as critics denounce Yoon's martial law declaration.
Protests in South Korea escalated into violent clashes outside the Seoul court after the detention of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol was extended for up to 20 days. Thousands gathered to demand his release, with nearly 60 protesters arrested by security forces. The protests turned chaotic, with buildings damaged and windows smashed as supporters stormed the area. This unrest highlights the intensity of the political crisis following Yoon’s declaration of martial law, which sparked a nationwide controversy.
