Prosecutors in South Korea have made a second request to extend the detention of impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol over a criminal investigation into his short-lived martial law declaration, after a court rejected their previous request.
Mr Yoon became the first sitting president of South Korea to be arrested after being charged with insurrection, a month after he stunned the world by imposing martial law, which was swiftly revoked by a parliamentary vote. He was impeached by the National Assembly over his short-lived martial law declaration on the night of 3 December and was suspended from office.
