South Korea's court rejects President Yoon’s objection to his detention order, following impeachment and charges of treason and insurrection.
A South Korean court dismissed President Yoon Suk Yeol’s objection to a detention order on Sunday, local media reported.
The Seoul court rejected an appeal from Yoon’s lawyer against the arrest warrant issued after his impeachment, according to Yonhap News Agency.
Yoon’s legal team previously announced plans to file a complaint against the head of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials and the police for attempting to execute the detention warrant.
On Friday, presidential security forces blocked corruption officials from arresting Yoon. The warrant, issued last week, is valid until Monday.
Impeached on 14th of December, Yoon is awaiting a Constitutional Court trial to decide if he will be permanently removed or reinstated following his failed 3rd of December martial law attempt. The verdict could take up to six months.
Yoon, facing charges of insurrection and treason along with a travel ban, is the first sitting South Korean president to face such charges and an arrest warrant.
