Prosecutors seek death sentence for South Korea's ex-president
The Guardian
|January 14, 2026
South Korean prosecutors yesterday demanded the death penalty for the former president Yoon Suk Yeol over his failed martial law declaration in December 2024 in the first insurrection trial of a Korean head of state in three decades.
Prosecutors told Seoul central district court Yoon had "directly and fundamentally infringed upon the safety of the state and the survival and freedom of the people".
Under South Korea's criminal code, insurrection ringleader charges carry three possible sentences: the death penalty, life imprisonment with labour or life imprisonment without labour. A verdict is expected in mid-February.
Prosecutors demanded life imprisonment with labour for the former defence minister Kim Yong-hyun, describing him as having "moved as one body" with Yoon throughout the conspiracy.
Yoon deployed troops to the national assembly on 3 December 2024, allegedly ordering them to prevent lawmakers from voting to lift his martial law declaration.
