South Korea special counsel seeks 23-year sentence for ex-PM in insurrection appeal


SEOUL: South Korean special counsel team on Tuesday (April 7) sought a 23-year prison term for former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo (pic) in an appeal of his insurrection case stemming from former President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed martial law bid, Yonhap News Agency reported.

In requesting the sentence at the Seoul High Court, special counsel Cho Eun-suk's team matched the 23-year term handed down by a lower court in January.

That court had found Han guilty of playing a key role in an insurrection by not stopping Yoon from declaring martial law on Dec 3, 2024. - Bernama-Yonhap
