SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has declared an “emergency martial law,” accusing the country’s opposition of controlling the parliament and paralyzing the government with anti-state activities. Yoon made the announcement in a televised briefing Tuesday, vowing to “eradicate pro-North Korean forces and protect the constitutional democratic order.” The move drew immediate opposition from politicians, including the leader of his own conservative party, Han Dong-hoon, who called the decision “wrong” and vowed to “stop it with the people.” Opposition leader Lee Jae-myung, who narrowly lost to Yoon in the 2022 presidential election, called Yoon’s announcement “illegal and unconstitutional.”
