‘Fighting Alone’: East South Korean President like Suk Yeol Rearly; Evidence Destruction Risk concern

Former South Korean President Yun Suk Yeol was detained for the second time on Thursday and kept in solitary imprisonment as the investigation continues on charges of rebellion.The MPs are accused of trying to remove the civil rule to stop the declaration from rejecting the announcement to the MPs from rejecting the announcement on 3 December and deploying armed soldiers in Parliament. The incident created a major political crisis in South Korea.Using their presidential security team to block investigators, they were first arrested in January after being detained for weeks. That arrest took him into custody the first sitting first sitting in South Korean history. He was later released on a procedural basis in March, although his trial on allegations of rebellion continued.After his impeachment in April, confirmed by the Constitutional Court, Yun refused to follow several summons to the investigators. The authorities then demanded second custody, citing concerns, he will destroy the evidence.A judge of the Seoul Central District Court approved the latest arrest in the early hours of Thursday. 64 -year -old Yun was then taken to a detention center near Seoul, where he would remain in seclusion for 20 days, while prosecutors will formulate formal charges. If convicted, it can be held for six additional months.Speaking to AFP, the chairman of the lawyers of a Democratic Society, Yun Bok-Naam said, “Once guilty is convicted, he can take into custody after prosecution for six months.” He said, “Theoretically, immediate release is possible, but in this case, the special lawyer has argued that the risk of evidence is high, and the allegations have already been greatly supported,” he said.On Wednesday, Yun attended a seven -hour hearing, where he denied all the allegations. He told the court that he was “fighting alone” and his legal team was under pressure, the lawyers withdrew one by one.Quoted by AFP, “My lawyers are going away one by one, and I may have to fight it alone soon.”The lawyers of this argued that custody was unnecessary, given that he no longer has any official power. However, prosecutors pointed to the risk of evidence destruction and severity of allegations.Investigators recently questioned their resistance during the failed arrest in January and alleged that they authorized drone flights to Pyongyang to justify martial law. He is also accused of proving official documents related to martial law effort.The former President has defended his actions, saying that martial law-north was necessary to eliminate Korean and anti-state elements. But the constitutional court called its actions “betrayal of people’s trust” and “denial of principles of democracy”.The current President Lee J. Mayung, who was elected in June, has approved the announcement of Yun’s Marshall Law and other criminal charges involving his administration and wife.
