Second attempt to detain South Korea's impeached President Yoon

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 15 January 2025 ()
Hundreds of law enforcement officials in South Korea resumed efforts Wednesday to detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol at his residence in Seoul, after his martial law declaration and subsequent impeachment. Despite court warrants and police deployment, his presidential security team continues to block attempts to execute the detention. Yoon has not left his official residence in Seoul for weeks, and the presidential security service prevented dozens of investigators from detaining him after a nearly six-hour standoff on January 3.
