South Korean Opposition threatens to impeach President Han Duck-soo over martial law counsel

The Hindu  

South Korea's main Opposition party threatened on Monday to impeach acting President Han Duck-soo if he failed to proclaim a law to launch a special counsel investigation into President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed bid to impose martial law. Prime Minister Han has taken over from the suspended Mr. Yoon, who was impeached on Dec. 14, 2024, and faces a Constitutional Court review on whether to oust him. The party, which has accused Mr. Han of aiding Mr. Yoon's martial law attempt and reported him to the police, said it would "immediately initiate impeachment proceedings" against the acting President if the legislation was not promulgated by Tuesday. Woo Jong-soo, Investigation Chief of the National Police Agency, told Parliament on Monday that police had tried to raid Mr. Yoon's office twice.
