STORYLINE:
South Korea’s major opposition party leader Lee Jae-myung, condemned South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol for declaring martial law and told his supporters that Yoon was ready to sacrifice people’s lives and rights for his benefits.
Hundreds of Lee’s supporters and opposition party lawmakers gathered in front of the South Korean parliament on Wednesday, hours after Yoon lifted emergency martial law.
While demanding Yoon’s resignation, Lee warned his supporters Yoon can potentially provoke North Korea to start a clash and sacrifice people’s lives to maintain his power.
"Dear citizens, you have to fight by our side," said Lee.
The liberal opposition Democratic Party, which holds a majority in the 300-seat parliament, said Wednesday that its lawmakers decided to call on Yoon to quit immediately or they would take steps to impeach him.
On Tuesday night, Yoon abruptly imposed the emergency martial law, vowing to eliminate “anti-state” forces after he struggled to push forward his agenda in the opposition-dominated parliament.
But his martial law was effective for only about six hours, as the National Assembly voted to overrule the president. The declaration was formally lifted around 4:30 a.m. during a Cabinet meeting.
