STORYLINE:
Protesters continued to rally outside the parliament in Seoul on Friday, ten days after South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared a short-lived martial law decree.
On December 3, in a surprise announcement, Yoon told a national television audience he was declaring martial law, saying the opposition-controlled parliament had become a “den of criminals” paralyzing government affairs.
Ten days later, Yoon made fiery comments defending the decree ahead of a second impeachment attempt and growing investigations into whether his short-lived power grab amounted to a rebellion.
Yoon’s statement came on the 45th anniversary of a coup orchestrated by the country’s last military strongman and has deepened the turmoil paralyzing South Korean politics and diplomacy.
