Former South Korean president jailed in martial law case
A court in South Korea sentenced former President Yoon Suk-yeol to 30 years in prison for sending drones to North Korea with the aim of creating a pretext to declare a state of emergency in December 2024. The drone operations, which allegedly carried propaganda leaflets, led to heightened military tensions between the two countries and were exploited by Yoon for political purposes, resulting in the leakage of confidential information and increased strain with North Korea. Previously, in February, the court had sentenced Yoon to life imprisonment for leading an attempt to paralyze the parliament through the declaration of a state of emergency.
