South Korea has created a political turmoil in December after President Yun Sik Yol’s announcement of Martial Law, which sent troops to Parliament in an attempt to end the rule of civilians.
The Constitutional Court provided a long -awaited decision, in which Yun was expelled, whose motion was suspended earlier. Development will potentially end unrest.
Here is the recovery of events:
December 3: Martial Law
On December 3, after the budget corruption with the opposition, Yun goes on television to declare Martial Law in Flashback to South Korea’s dictator.
They say they “want to protect the country” to eliminate the country’s “threats posed by North Korea’s Communist forces and to eliminate anti -state elements that rob people’s freedom and happiness.”
Armed troops are leaving to prevent lawmakers from abolishing the decree in parliament, scaling fences, windows, breaking windows and landing by helicopter.
When thousands of protesters gather out, the lawmakers vote 190-0 to declare the UN declaration in early December 4.
Soldiers begin to withdraw and re -emerge on television and lift martial law. Demonstrators celebrate. Yun goes to the ground.
December 4: Planning Plan
The opposition on December 4 pledged to emphasize the motion immediately and submit a government movement.
They submit separate complaints of “uprising” against Yun, his defense and interior ministers, and “included key military and police figures like martial law commander and police chief”.
Police have announced that they are investigating the “rebellion” of Yun and others.
December 14: Yun impressed
Of the 300 legislators, 204 votes to mobilize Yun and 85 votes against the movement – their second attempt after a failed vote a week ago.
Yun has been suspended while the South Korean Constitutional Court has six months deliberately on the vote.
Prime Minister Han Duck became the acting leader of the country.
After the vote, there are scenes of joy among tens of thousands of protesters in front of the parliament building.
December 27: Second
On December 27, legislators applauded Acting President Han that the opposition had refused to sign special law bills to investigate Yun.
Finance Minister Choi Sang Mock took power.
Meanwhile, the corruption investigation office sends a third summons to Yun on December 26, when it denied the demands of investigators twice a week.
Yun faces a rebellion and criminal charges, which can result in life imprisonment or even death.
December 30: Arrest Warrant
Investigators requested for a Yon arrest warrant that he failed to report for questioning.
Forcibly detaining a president is the first attempt in the country’s history before completing the procedure.
Hundreds of Yun supporters hold a rally outside its compound for his motion, because Yun has presented in a statement to fight with them “to protect this nation.”
January 3: The first attempt to arrest
Investigators take their steps to arrest Yun, but it is blocked by its guards in a six -hour stress.
Referring to security concerns, they are forced to stand.

Officers use a ladder to violate the compound and reach the residence.
After the talks, investigators announced that the warrant was presented, and later Yun appeared in their offices. Yun says he complied with “stopped bloodshed”.
Yun has taken his mug shot and goes through physical examination when he spends his first night in jail as a criminal suspect.
January 18: Warrant of Yun was extended
The Seoul Western District Court issues a formal arrest warrant for extension of the detention of Yun, and citing concerns that it can eliminate the evidence.
The decision has angered Yun supporters, some of whom attack the court building, break the windows and throw glass bottles on the ground.
March 8: Yun remained
The suspended president has been detained after his arrest after his arrest after the court’s procedure.
Outside the detention center, the Yun gets out of the car and waves it, crying supporters.
The decision has fueled further tensions, which have hundreds of thousands of rails for Yun every weekend and some camps and organize overnight protests.
Word
The Constitutional Court on April 1 announced that it would issue a long wait for the Yun’s motion on Friday.
South Korean police vowed to mobilize “all available resources” on that day to avoid violence.
Large tourist destinations and nearby schools say they will be closed that day, as embassies have warned their citizens to avoid areas near the court for fear of violence.
