South Korea’s top court has confirmed the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol, ruling his martial law declaration violated the constitution and proper procedures.
South Korea's Constitutional Court has upheld the impeachment of Yoon Suk Yeol, months after the ousted president's declaration of martial law plunged the country into turmoil.
In a nationally televised unanimous ruling, the court's acting chief, Moon Hyung-bae, announced that the eight-member bench had confirmed Yoon's impeachment. The court found that Yoon’s declaration of martial law "violated" the constitution, bypassed proper procedures, and undermined judicial independence.
Yoon becomes the second sitting president in South Korea’s history to be forcibly removed from office, following the impeachment of former conservative President Park Geun-hye in 2017.
The verdict sparked both tears of joy and sorrow among Yoon’s critics and supporters, who had gathered across Seoul to watch the ruling live.
A snap election to choose Yoon’s successor must be held by 3 June.
