AI Summary:
South Korean court cancels impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol’s arrest warrant. The suspended president filed the request with the Seoul Central District Court last month. “It is reasonable to conclude that the indictment was filed after the defendant’s detention period had expired,” the court said. Yoon declared martial law on December 3 saying it was needed to root out “antistate” elements but lifted the decree six hours later after parliament voted to reject it. Weeks later he was impeached by the opposition-led parliament on accusations he had violated his constitutional duty. It is now up to the Constitutional Court to decide whether to formally end Yoon’s presidency or reinstate him.
