Aug. 11 (Asia Today) -- A South Korean special counsel team indicted former Korea Policy Broadcasting Service chief Lee Eun-woo without detention Tuesday on a charge of promoting insurrection in connection with former President Yoon Suk Yeol's December 2024 martial law declaration.
The second integrated special counsel team led by Kwon Chang-young said Lee was indicted under the Criminal Act on a charge of insurrection propaganda.
Lee is accused of repeatedly and intensively disseminating information between Dec. 3 and Dec. 13, 2024, asserting the legitimacy of the emergency martial law declaration and related proclamation.
Investigators also allege he selectively blocked or deleted information criticizing or opposing the martial law action.
