Former South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has been arrested for the second time for his attempt to impose martial law in December. He is reportedly being held in solitary confinement. A court in the capital Seoul ordered Yoon’s arrest, citing concerns that the former South Korean leader may try to destroy evidence. He was detained on Thursday (July 10). The 64-year-old politician, who faces trial on sedition charges, is being held at the Seoul Detention Center, where he served 52 days in prison earlier this year and was released four months ago on “technical grounds.” Yoon plunged South Korea into a political crisis by attempting to overthrow the civilian government on December 3. He also tried to prevent lawmakers from voting against his declaration of martial law by sending armed soldiers into parliament. Yoon is South Korea’s first sitting president, having been detained in a raid in January. He was released in March. South Korea’s Constitutional Court then removed Yun from office in April, paving the way for a snap election in June. The country’s new president, Lee Jae-myung, has approved legislation to launch a special investigation into Yun’s attempts to impose martial law and various criminal charges involving his administration and his wife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
