SEOUL, Jan 13 (Reuters) - South Korea's special prosecutor on Tuesday requested the death penalty for former president Yoon Suk Yeol on charges of insurrection over his brief imposition of martial law in December 2024.
The judge is also stating that South Korean society as a whole has suffered immeasurable damage due to Yoon's insurrection, a cost that the entire nation must now bear.
