South Korea's former President Yoon Suk Yeol has requested a court review of his arrest, describing it as unlawful, as prosecutors continue efforts to question him regarding the alleged attempt to impose martial law last year.
The ousted president submitted a petition to the Seoul Central District Court on Wednesday, seeking a review of his arrest. His legal team described the detention as “illegal” and “unjust,” according to Seoul-based Yonhap News Agency.
Yoon is currently held at the Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang, after a court issued an arrest warrant last Thursday. The warrant relates to allegations that he attempted to impose martial law in December.
This marks the second time Yoon has pursued legal action to challenge his detention. A previous petition filed in January resulted in his release in March after a court review.
Meanwhile, the office of Special Counsel Cho Eun-suk has attempted for the third time to question Yoon. The previous efforts were unsuccessful due to his lack of cooperation.
On Tuesday, a request was sent to the detention centre to facilitate his transfer to the Seoul High Prosecutors’ Office. However, Yoon declined to attend questioning on both Monday and Tuesday, citing health concerns.
