South Korea’s Yoon detained, a first for country.
Following an early morning raid, Yoon appeared for questioning related to an insurrection probe
South Korean authorities detained impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol early Wednesday, the country’s anti-corruption agency announced, following a tense, five-hour standoff at his heavily guarded mountain compound in Seoul.
Wow - a sitting president arrested!
What a crazy concept, prosecuting a person based on their crimes regardless of their position in government
SK over here setting examples for other places in the world.
A wide stretch to call this a first for South Korea. Virtually half of their Presidents ended very poorly (imprisonment/death/suicide): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_South_Korea
Perhaps the first impeached and arrested under the rule of law and not by coup, revolt, assassination, or regime change?
I dunno, this isn't Star Wars so I know very little about it
