Martial Law Misadventure: South Korea's Supreme Court Upholds Yoon's Sentence The Supreme Court of South Korea has brought closure to the chaotic tale of former President Yoon Suk Yeol's ill fated martial law declaration in 2024.
The court upheld a seven year prison sentence for Yoon, a much needed reckoning with the consequences of his actions.
In hindsight, it's astonishing that Yoon thought he could declare martial law to deal with perceived "anti state forces" and threats from North Korea without facing severe repercussions.
