On Saturday, South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol was released from jail, the South Korean news agency Yonhap reported.

Yoon left the Seoul Detention Centre after a court had ordered his release, the agency reported.

Yoon was detained in January after accusations and charges over his imposition of marital law in December. 

If these accusations are proven, he could face a lengthy prison sentence. 

The National Assembly impeached him on December 14. The Constitutional Court is currently reviewing his impeachment, with a decision expected as soon as the end of next week. 

If the impeachment is upheld, new elections will be held within 60 days.
