S Korean president accused of ordering use of guns to stop martial law vote

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been accused by the opposition Democratic Party of ordering the use of firearms to suppress a vote on martial law during his time as a prosecutor in 2018. This accusation stems from a document that surfaced, suggesting that Yoon, then a senior prosecutor, instructed the use of "lethal weapons" to prevent a vote in the National Assembly that could have lifted martial law imposed by the previous administration. The document, which was part of a larger investigation into the 2017 impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye, has led to significant political controversy. The Democratic Party claims this shows Yoon's authoritarian tendencies, while Yoon's office has dismissed the allegations as baseless, asserting that the document was fabricated. This incident has intensified the political divide in South Korea, with calls for a thorough investigation into the matter.
