South Korea in turmoil: “The President may be executed and his wife may be imprisoned for 10 years”… What will happen now in the neighboring country across the Sea of Japan?
Calling the opposition "anti-national forces," police and security forces clash in the execution of a detention warrant!
Since the declaration of emergency martial law, South Korea has been in turmoil.
About 100 police officers and others stormed the president’s official residence. Standing in their way were about 200 people responsible for security at the official residence. Some of them carried guns and formed a “human shield” in a scrum to intimidate the police officers and block their way.
The January 3 riot over the execution of a detention warrant against South Korean President Yun Suk-yeol, 64, had the appearance of a civil war. The Korean government is trying to get Yun to cooperate with the government,” said Shin-il Byeon, editor-in-chief of Korea Report.
Mr. Yun is desperate. If he is detained, he will be imprisoned for civil unrest. The maximum penalty is death. In order to avoid being detained at all costs, Mr. Yun has been holed up in his official residence and is fighting a thorough battle.
Since Yun declared martial law last December, South Korea has been in turmoil. Yun has called opposition parties that oppose him “anti-national forces,” and has tried to wipe them out with martial law, believing that they are working for North Korea.
Notes from aides and other documents seized by the police reveal that Yun had an incredible plan. A representative of the ruling party, who was on the arrest list for civil disturbance, was shot dead by the martial law forces. They tried to make it out that the attack was committed by North Korea. They also killed a U.S. soldier in South Korea and tried to make it look like it was the work of North Korea. In fact, Yun’s side purchased more than 140 uniforms of the Korean People’s Army. If the plan had been carried out, it could have led to a second Korean War involving the U.S. military. It seems that Yun was serious about achieving unification of the peninsula through an all-out confrontation with North Korea,” said Hen.
