"In trying to stop authorities from executing an arrest warrant by use of force, Yoon committed acts that are unacceptable in a society of law and order, according to the Seoul High Court judge."
"Yoon was handed a life sentence in February for the crime of leading an insurrection, a result of his failed attempt to impose martial law in 2024."
"The initial sentence handed to Yoon in January found him guilty of not following due process before declaring martial law and fabricating official documentation related to the declaration."
Yoon Suk Yeol, former President of South Korea, has been sentenced to life in prison for leading an insurrection during his attempt to impose martial law in 2024. An appeals court increased his previous five-year sentence for obstruction of justice to seven years. Yoon's actions included using presidential security agents to block an arrest and fabricating official documents. The court upheld some convictions while overturning others, and Yoon may appeal to the Supreme Court regarding these sentences.
