Saturday, January 11, 2025 - South Korea’s presidential security chief, Park Chong-jun on Friday, January 10 said there must be no bloodshed if investigators attempt to execute another arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over his failed martial law bid.
According to reports, Yoon has refused questioning and last
week resisted arrest in a tense stand-off between his guards and investigators
after his short-lived power grab plunged South Korea into its worst political
crisis in decades.
“I understand many citizens
are concerned about the current situation where government agencies are in
conflict and confrontation.
“I believe that under no
circumstances should there be physical clashes or bloodshed,” Chong-jun said.
Investigators seeking to interrogate Yoon on insurrection charges linked to his ill-fated declaration of martial law secured a new arrest warrant this week after an initial seven-day order expired on Monday.
Yoon’s supporters are said to have rushed to the
presidential residence, braving sub-zero temperatures to defend him while rival
protests have either called for Yoon’s impeachment to be declared invalid or
for him to be detained immediately.
If investigators can detain him, Yoon would become the first
sitting South Korean president to be arrested.
However, his legal team have said they will not comply with
the current warrant. The Corruption Investigation Office, CIO, has declared it
would prepare thoroughly for the second arrest attempt.
