South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has announced his decision to lift the martial law order that he had imposed, following a parliamentary vote that blocked the measure. The move comes after significant public outcry and concerns over the implications of martial law on civil liberties and democratic processes.
President Yoon Suk Yeol had declared martial law in response to escalating tensions with North Korea and growing domestic unrest. However, the decision faced strong opposition from lawmakers, civil society groups, and the general public.
