Had orders to block lawmakers from impeachment vote: South Korea defence official
India TodayThe commander of South Korea's special forces that stormed parliament last week after a martial law declaration said on Monday he was ordered to block lawmakers from entering the chamber to prevent a vote to lift the emergency measure. Colonel Kim Hyun-tae, the commanding officer of the 707th Special Missions Group, told reporters he took all responsibility for his troops' raid on parliament but said he was acting under orders from the defence minister. South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who is now a subject of a criminal investigation, declared martial law on December 3 only to rescind the order within hours after parliament met in defiance of a security cordon to vote it invalid. The leader of Yoon's People Power Party, Han Dong-hoon, said on Sunday that Yoon would be excluded from foreign and other state affairs, and the party and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo would manage government affairs.
