Martial law reversed in South Korea after president’s surprise decree sent shockwaves

CNN  

CNN — South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s cabinet has reversed a martial law order in the country, just hours after he issued the surprise decree that plunged Seoul into political uncertainty and sparked fierce backlash from lawmakers across the political spectrum. Hours of uncertainty When he declared martial law, Yoon had labeled the opposition’s actions as “clear anti-state behavior aimed at inciting rebellion.” He further claimed these acts have “paralyzed state affairs and turned the National Assembly into a den of criminals.” “To safeguard a liberal South Korea from the threats posed by North Korea’s communist forces and to eliminate anti-state elements… I hereby declare emergency martial law,” Yoon said in the address. The leader of the opposition Democratic Party, Lee Jae-myung, said the emergency martial law declaration was “unconstitutional,” calling it a move that “goes against the people,” Yonhap reported. Helicopters fly over the South Korean capital after South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law.
