South Korean President Yoon removed from office over martial law declaration
A celebratory march through Seoul tonight following the court's verdict
SOUTH KOREA’S Constitutional Court unanimously removed Yoon Suk Yeol from the country’s presidency today.
The verdict comes four months after Mr Yoon threw the nation into turmoil with an ill-judged declaration of martial law.
The verdict capped a dramatic fall for the right-wing former prosecutor who became president in 2022, just a year after he entered politics.
