Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol sentenced to life in prison

From Associated Press.

Yoon Suk Yeol was ousted from office after a baffling attempt to overcome an opposition-controlled legislature by declaring martial law and sending troops to surround the National Assembly on Dec. 3, 2024. The judge said Yoon was found guilty of rebellion for mobilizing military and police forces in an illegal attempt to seize the liberal-led Assembly, arrest politicians and establish unchecked power for a “considerable” time.
