South Korea’s President Yoon is banned from traveling abroad after martial law chaos
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea’s Justice Ministry on Monday imposed an overseas travel ban on President Yoon Suk Yeol as authorities investigate allegations of rebellion and other charges in connection with his short-lived declaration of martial law last week.
While a sitting South Korean president has immunity from prosecution while in office, that doesn’t extend to allegations of rebellion or treason. This means that Yoon can be questioned and detained by police over his martial law decree, but many observers doubt that police will forcefully detain him because of the potential for clashes with his presidential security service.
The main opposition Democratic Party called Yoon’s martial law imposition “unconstitutional, illegal rebellion or a coup.” It has filed complaints with police against at least nine people, including Yoon and his former defense minister, over the rebellion allegations. On Saturday, Yoon issued an apology over the martial law decree, saying he won’t shirk legal or political responsibility for the declaration. He said that he would leave it to his party to chart a course through the country’s political turmoil, “including matters related to my term in office.”
Yoon’s martial law decree lasted only six hours because the National Assembly voted it down, forcing Yoon’s Cabinet to lift it before daybreak on Wednesday. Some members of Yoon’s governing People Power Party, or PPP, cast ballots against Yoon’s decree, but the party later decided to oppose his impeachment.
