SEOUL, South Korea: President Yoon Suk Yeol faces an impeachment vote this Saturday after briefly imposing martial law in South Korea.
Then a six-point decree from army chief General Park An-su, installed as martial law commander, banned political activities and parties,"false propaganda", strikes and"gatherings that incite social unrest".Security forces sealed the National Assembly, helicopters landed on the roof and soldiers tried to lock down the building, seemingly to prevent lawmakers from getting inside.
Several tense hours followed before Yoon appeared on television again at around 4.30am to rescind martial law.On Wednesday six opposition parties filed an impeachment motion, which will go before parliament on Saturday at around 7pm . "All 108 lawmakers of the People Power Party will stay united to reject the president's impeachment," party floor leader Choo Kyung-ho said.
Police are also probing Interior Minister Lee Sang-min and Kim Yong-hyun, the defence minister whose resignation was accepted today and who is now barred from leaving the country.
