South Korea Suspends Arrest of Yoon

South Korean investigators have temporarily suspended the enforcement of an arrest warrant against ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol, who faces allegations of attempting to impose martial law last month.

On Friday morning, authorities announced the initiation of procedures to execute the arrest warrant issued by the judiciary. However, according to Yonhap News Agency, investigators who entered the presidential residence were unable to apprehend Yoon and subsequently halted their efforts due to resistance from presidential security forces.

President Yoon remains in office pending a final ruling by the Constitutional Court on the parliamentary vote to impeach him. Despite his ousting by lawmakers, the court's decision will determine whether the impeachment becomes permanent.

The investigation into Yoon centers on allegations that he sought to implement martial law to consolidate power, a move that has sparked widespread public and political controversy.

This development further underscores the political tension in South Korea, as the nation awaits the court's verdict on the future of Yoon's presidency.
