South Korea’s impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol has vowed to “fight to the end” as authorities dispatched investigators to execute a warrant to detain him over his shock attempt to impose martial law.
As his lawyers warned that police officers attempting to detain him on behalf of South Korea’s anti-corruption agency could themselves face arrest “by either the presidential security service or any citizens”, Mr Yoon sent a defiant message to supporters rallying outside his Seoul residence.
