💨 Abstract

A former South Korean defense minister, Kim Yong-hyun, under investigation for insurrection, claims a short-lived martial law decree declared earlier this month was to raise alarm against opposition parties' abuse of the democratic process. Ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol, who is also under investigation, overruled Kim's attempt to impose a curfew as part of the martial law, according to Kim's lawyers.
