South Korea's Justice Ministry has imposed an overseas travel ban on President Yoon Suk Yeol as investigations continue into allegations of rebellion and other charges related to his recent declaration of martial law. Yoon's decree on December 3 led to the deployment of special forces troops in Seoul, causing political turmoil and concern among diplomatic partners and neighboring countries.
Despite surviving an impeachment attempt on Saturday, opposition parties have pledged to submit a new motion against Yoon this week. The Justice Ministry has banned Yoon from leaving the country at the request of police, prosecutors, and an anti-corruption agency as they expand their inquiries into the martial law declaration.
