Live Updates: Fury in South Korea After President Imposes Martial Law

^{Published on 2024-12-03 22:00:40 - Brian Stokes, N@N}

South Korea's National Assembly voted to lift an emergency declaration of martial law just hours after President Yoon Suk Yeol announced it on Tuesday, in a swift rebuke of the president's response to the political deadlock that has hobbled his tenure.

The article from The New York Times discusses the recent political turmoil in South Korea where President Yoon Suk Yeol has declared martial law, citing national security threats and the need to restore order amid widespread protests. The declaration has sparked international concern and domestic outrage, with opposition parties and civil rights groups condemning the move as an authoritarian overreach. Protests have escalated, with reports of clashes between demonstrators and security forces. The U.S. State Department has expressed worry over the situation, urging restraint and dialogue. Meanwhile, President Yoon has defended his decision, arguing that it was necessary to prevent chaos and ensure stability, pointing to alleged foreign interference and internal subversion as justifications for his actions.
