Protesters storm South Korean court after it extends President Yoon’s detention

Supporters of South Korea’s arrested president, Yoon Suk Yeol, stormed a court building after his detention was extended, smashing windows and clashing with police.

Yoon, the first sitting president to be arrested, faces insurrection charges following a brief December martial law declaration.

Police restored order, arresting 46 protesters, while nine officers and dozens of others were injured.

Acting President Choi Sang-mok condemned the violence, calling it “unimaginable.” Yoon, detained in solitary confinement, has refused questioning, with his lawyers calling the arrest illegal, CNN has reported.
