Ex-defense chief in South Korea tried to kill himself after being arrested over martial law

^{Published on 2024-12-11 09:21:20 - MSN}

South Korea's previous defense minister was stopped from attempting suicide while in detention over last week's martial law declaration, officials said Wednesday, as President Yoon Suk Yeol's office resisted a police attempt to search the compound.

The article from MSN discusses the detention of South Korea's national police chief, Yoon Hee-keun, and Seoul's top police officer, Kim Kwang-ho, in connection with their enforcement of martial law during the 2022 Itaewon crowd crush. This tragic event, which occurred on October 29, 2022, resulted in the deaths of 159 people due to a massive crowd surge in Seoul's Itaewon district. The officers are accused of improperly using martial law to suppress public criticism and protests following the incident, which was seen as an attempt to control the narrative and public reaction rather than addressing the underlying issues of crowd management and safety. The investigation into their actions highlights concerns over the misuse of emergency powers and the need for accountability in law enforcement practices.
