South Korea's impeached President Yoon detained in massive law-enforcement effort
South Korean authorities take impeached President Yoon to detention center after questioning
Summary
Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was detained following a large-scale law enforcement operation at his presidential residence.
Yoon, who declared martial law on Dec. 3 to counter an "anti-state" opposition, had defied multiple summons for questioning.
Law enforcement overcame barricades and resistance from Yoon's security service, detaining him under accusations of rebellion.
The liberal opposition supports his arrest, while Yoon's party calls it unlawful.
Yoon’s impeachment awaits a Constitutional Court ruling, which will decide whether he is formally removed or reinstated.
