Seoul: South Korea’s ousted leader Yoon Suk Yeol argued that his brief martial law declaration late last year was not a “coup” as he tried the allegations of his leading uprising in court on Monday for a criminal trial.

The Martial Arts attempt lasted about six hours, Yoon faced parliamentary opposition and public protests, putting the country into turbulent months and causing the Constitutional Court to be removed from the month for violations of constitutional powers.

After leaving his house on Monday, Yoon Won, who refused all charges against him, entered Seoul’s Central District Court in a black navy suit and a red tie.

At the beginning of the lawsuit, prosecutors argued that Yoon lacked legal grounds for declaring martial law and accused him of trying to paralyze state institutions such as parliament.

“The defendant … makes it impossible for the constitutional body to exercise its powers under the illegal declaration,” the prosecutor said.

Yoon, the country’s chief prosecutor, defended himself in court, refuting the prosecutor’s allegations in detail before he became president.

Yuan said: “Martial arts are not coups.”

He denied paralyzing the government and said martial law was needed to remind people how the majority of opposition parties can attack the government through more than 20 officials in impeachment, which he thought was dangerous.

“This is a peace for the country’s ‘information martial law’…I know this martial law will end in one day,” Yuan said.

Yoon said that although he had issued such an intention to the forward minister Kim Yang, the military officials who carried out the order seemed to have exceeded the order because they were used to training martial law orders under different guidelines.

Rebellion accusations

Two senior officers occupied the witness stand in the afternoon.

Among them is Cho Sung-hyun of the Army Capital Defense Command, their senior officials ordered them to send troops to “drag” members out of parliament during Yoon’s martial arts orders.

Yoon denied the allegation, saying he did not issue such an order.

The need to quit the “anti-state” element was cancelled after parliamentary staff used roadblocks and fire extinguishers to block special operations soldiers trying to enter parliament, and the declaration was cancelled, attempted to enter parliament, and the MPs voted to reject martial arts law.

Although South Korea has not committed anyone for decades, the allegations of planning an uprising faced by the Impotence leader should be punished with life imprisonment or even death.

The Constitutional Court said in its ruling to remove him, Yoon’s martial law shocked South Koreans and caused chaos in all regions, economics and foreign policy.

The upheaval further reveals the deep social rift between conservatives and liberals and increases pressure on institutions and the military, which confuses itself about whether to enforce martial law.

The former president returned to his private residence from his official residence on Friday, with a group of conservative supporters welcomed his convoy.

Yoon returned to their apartment with his wife and pets, just a few hundred meters from the Seoul court, where he won major legal victories as a prosecutor, such as conviction of another impeachment president, Park Geun-Hye.

He remains provocative and promises to “stand” among his supporters. Opposition Democrats slammed the Yuan on Monday because they did not make any sincere apology.

The country will now hold a quick election on June 3. The question of whether Yoon will still work remains.
