South Korea’s prosecutors have indicted impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol on charges of leading an insurrection tied to his brief imposition of martial law in December. In a Sunday statement, prosecutors described Yoon as the “ringleader” of the insurrection. The charge is punishable by life imprisonment or death and bypasses presidential immunity. Yoon was impeached by parliament and taken into custody, becoming the first sitting president to face arrest.
