International media outlets have reported that South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has been banned from leaving the country amid a political crisis and turmoil following the declaration of martial law.
According to a report from Agence France-Presse on Monday, December 9th, the South Korean Ministry of Justice issued an order barring the president from exiting the country.
The order was given after President Yoon made the controversial decision to impose martial law, which led to widespread opposition and political chaos within the country.
Following the declaration of martial law, the opposition party in Seoul introduced an impeachment motion against the president, calling for his resignation from office.
However, the motion failed to pass due to opposition from members of the ruling party in parliament, and it was rejected.
The political crisis in South Korea has been ongoing for nearly a week, and the Ministry of Justice stated that President Yoon is prohibited from leaving the country until the allegations related to the imposition of martial law are clarified.
In addition, many analysts believe that this political crisis could further destabilize the South Korean government and increase tensions within the region. The president’s political future now seems uncertain as his actions have sparked significant public outrage and political divisions.
Given the complexity of the situation, it remains to be seen how this conflict will unfold and whether President Yoon will be able to regain public trust or if further measures will be taken to resolve the ongoing crisis.
