🇰🇷 Yoon Suk Yeol appeals life sentence over martial law case South Korea’s ex-president Yoon Suk Yeol filed an appeal against his life sentence for rebellion tied to the brief December 2024 martial law decree, arguing the court made factual and legal errors. The case is expected to move to a Seoul High Court panel specializing in rebellion cases. Yoon was impeached in December 2024, removed by the Constitutional Court in April 2025, and re-arrested in July. Prosecutors had sought the death penalty, while the trial court said Yoon unlawfully mobilized troops and police to pressure the National Assembly. Yoon insists he acted for the nation and criticized the ruling as biased. #SouthKorea @asianomics
