SEOUL (Reuters) - A former South Korean defence minister charged with insurrection for his role in trying to enforce martial law defended his actions at the start of his trial on Monday and blamed "wicked behaviour" by the opposition for triggering a political crisis.
Prosecutors have accused Kim Yong-hyun, who resigned and is now detained, of conspiring with President Yoon Suk Yeol to stage insurrection through martial law over the opposition's control of parliament, indictments against him show.
