Yoon Suk Yeol the South Korean President is grabbing the headlines since he declared martial law during a late-night television address. This announcement came in between the threats from “anti-state forces” within the country.  Yoon said that the opposition party has turned South Korea into a “den of criminals”. After this announcement it is clear that Martial law will remain in place in South Korea.

President Yoon said this law was necessary to counter alleged pro-North Korea elements and restore normalcy in the nation. The declaration by the President includes strict measures such as banning strikes, gatherings, and political activities as well as granting authorities the power to detain individuals without a warrant.  The Korean army came and closed off the parliament to prevent MPs to come in and vote!

This is not the first time when South Korea adopted martial law, during critical moments in history such as the Korean War and the April Revolution of 1960 the law was in use in South Korea.

Though after the declaration by President Yoon critics including opposition leaders of South Korea have condemned the decision of President. They are calling it a severe threat to democracy and civil liberties of the nation. This situation remains highly tense, with growing concerns over the implications of this move. Many media sources are indicating the protest evolving around the nation.

South Korean opposition parties submit motion to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol over short-lived martial law.
