South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol to face second impeachment vote tomorrow

Hindustan Times  

South Korean lawmakers are set to vote Saturday on whether to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol over his failed martial law bid, in a second parliamentary showdown that appeared on a knife edge. South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol will face another impeachment vote on Saturday A week after a first attempt to remove Yoon for the martial law debacle foundered, the National Assembly will vote Saturday around 4:00 pm on whether to impeach the president for "insurrectionary acts undermining the constitutional order". Thousands of South Koreans have taken to the streets of Seoul to demand Yoon's resignation and jailing, after his short-lived martial law declaration sent soldiers and helicopters to parliament on December 3-4. And should the vote fail, Yoon can still face "legal responsibility" for the martial law bid, Kim Hyun-jung, a researcher at the Korea University Institute of Law, told AFP.
