Impeached South Korea President Yoon Suk Yeol was indicted on charges of leading an insurrection after briefly declaring martial law last month.

Yonhap news agency says South Korean prosecutors have indicted the impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over his imposition of martial law.

Prosecutors indicted detained South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Sunday on charges of leading an insurrection with his short-lived imposition of martial law last month.

A senior South Korean military commander has testified in court that he was asked how to cut electricity to parliament during last year’s failed martial law attempt by impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol.

Yoon Suk Yeol’s presence at the court was his first public appearance since becoming South Korea’s first sitting president to be detained over his short-lived declaration of martial law, which plunged the country into political turmoil.
