South Korean parliament declares president's ‘emergency martial law’ invalid

SOUTH Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared ”emergency martial law” today — but was defied by parliament, which voted his declaration invalid.

Mr Yoon accused the opposition of controlling parliament, sympathising with North Korea and paralysing the government through anti-state activities.

He made the announcement in a televised briefing, vowing to “eradicate pro-North Korean forces and protect the constitutional democratic order.”
