On the 29th local time, South Korea's Seoul High Court held a trial to close the case of former President Yoon Seok-yeol's alleged civil unrest. The special prosecution team once again requested the court to sentence Yoon Seok-yeol to death. The special inspection team pointed out that due to the declaration of emergency martial law on December 3, 2024, Yoon Suk-yue was charged with initiating civil unrest. The sentence was too light in the first instance, and the maximum legal penalty — the death penalty should be imposed according to law. The special inspection team characterized this emergency martial law as a “pro-defense coup” aimed at long-term monopoly of power, believing that the relevant acts seriously disrupted South Korea's constitutional order, were of a bad nature, and should not be taken lightly.
