South Korea prosecutors request 10-year term for ex-president

SEOUL: South Korean prosecutors on Friday sought a 10-year prison sentence for ex-president Yoon Suk Yeol, for offenses linked to his attempt to impose martial law last year. Yoon briefly suspended civilian rule in South Korea for the first time in more than four decades on December 3, 2024, prompting massive protests and a showdown in parliament. Since being removed from office in April by the Constitutional Court, he has faced multiple trials for actions linked to his martial law declaration.
