A South Korean court has issued an arrest warrant for the president About Yoon Suk-yeolwho was suspended from office earlier this month.
Yoon was impeached after he unexpectedly declared a state of emergency in South Korea in early December, which the opposition sees as an attempted coup. Yoon had been summoned for questioning about this three times, but he has refused to appear each time.
Yoon’s actions are being investigated by both prosecutors and an investigation team formed by the police, the Ministry of Justice and anti-corruption authorities.
