SOUTH KOREAN opposition parties introduced a Bill today calling for an independent probe into impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol’s brief martial law declaration.

Large rival rallies of his supporters and opponents continue to be held near his official residence, ahead of his potential detention.

The Bill, jointly submitted by six parties, including the main liberal opposition Democratic Party, proposes that a special prosecutor investigate whether President Yoon’s martial law decree on December 3 constituted an attempted rebellion.
