Former South Korean President Sentenced to 5 Years in Prison
In South Korea, former President Yun Sok Yol has been sentenced to 5 years in prison by a court ruling. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This was due to his obstruction of the execution of an arrest warrant following his attempt to declare martial law in December 2024. Additionally, the court found Yun Sok Yol guilty of document forgery and failure to comply with legal procedures regarding martial law.
According to Yonhap news agency, other serious charges against Yun Sok Yol, including rebellion and insurrection, are also ongoing in court. According to some sources, the prosecution has demanded the death penalty in this case.
According to Reuters, this verdict is considered one of the most significant decisions among several trials related to Yun Sok Yol. At the same time, Yun Sok Yol has the right to appeal this court decision.
This event remains one of the most closely watched issues in South Korea's political arena.
