SEOUL: South Korean investigators said Wednesday (Jan 1) they would execute an arrest warrant for Yoon Suk-yeol over his declaration of martial law by the deadline on Jan 6, as the impeached leader's supporters rallied outside his residence.
Supporters and opponents of Yoon, who was suspended from office by lawmakers over his attempt to subvert civilian rule last month, have been camped outside the compound where he has been holed up for weeks, fending off investigators' efforts to question him.
