News (Asia) MT: South Korea Martial Law
On December 3, 2024, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared emergency martial law, citing threats from North Korean communist forces and domestic anti-state elements. In a televised address, he authorized the military to maintain order, accusing the opposition Democratic Party of paralyzing the government and labeling them as anti-state forces.
He has tried to block the National Assembly so they cannot vote to undo it, they are trying to vote to undo it. In specific, the military, under General Park An-su as Martial Law Commander, has suspended activities of the legislature, local councils, and political parties, placing media and publications under martial law control. Medical personnel have been ordered to return to work within 48 hours amid an ongoing junior doctors' strike.
Han Dong-hoon, leader of the President's own People Power Party, opposed the declaration, vowing to stop it alongside the people.
This marks the first imposition of martial law in South Korea since its democratization in 1987, raising significant concerns about the country's democratic governance and civil liberties.
