Monday, December 09, 2024 - South Korea’s Ministry of Justice on Monday, December 9 said President Yoon Suk Yeol has been banned from leaving the country less than a week after he plunged the country into chaos by briefly imposing martial law.
Yoon sent special forces and helicopters to parliament on
the night of December 3 before lawmakers forced him to rescind the order by
rejecting his decree.
On Saturday he narrowly survived an impeachment motion in
parliament even as huge crowds braved freezing temperatures to call for his
ouster.
But even though he remained in office, investigations have
been closing in on Yoon and his close allies, including a probe for alleged
insurrection.
The Ministry of Justice confirmed on Monday that Yoon had
become the first sitting South Korean president to be banned from leaving the
country.
Also, under travel bans for their roles in last week’s
events are former defence minister Kim Yong-hyun, who is currently in detention
and ex-interior minister Lee Sang-min.
