South Korea's President Yoon free, trials continue after court quashes detention

Sunday, March 9, 2025 | 17:55:40

- South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was released from a detention center on Saturday after prosecutors decided not to appeal a court decision to cancel the impeached leader's arrest warrant on insurrection charges.

South Korean impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol gestures outside the Seoul detention center after his release, in Uiwang, South Korea, March 8, 2025.

Yoon, 64, remains suspended from his duties, and his criminal and impeachment trials continue over his imposition of martial law on December 3.

The Seoul Central District Court cancelled Yoon's arrest warrant on Friday, citing the timing of his indictment and questions about the legality of the investigation process.

The main opposition Democratic Party criticised the prosecutors' decision and urged the Constitutional Court to remove Yoon from office as soon as possible.
