South Korea's main opposition party threatened on Dec 23 to impeach Acting President Han Duck-soo if he failed to proclaim a law to launch a special counsel investigation into President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed bid to impose martial law.

S. Korea's opposition threatens to impeach Acting President over martial law counsel

Prime Minister Han has taken over from the suspended Mr Yoon, who was impeached on Dec 14 and faces a Constitutional Court review on whether to oust him.

With a majority in Parliament, the opposition Democratic Party (DP) passed a Bill this month to appoint a special counsel to pursue charges of insurrection, among others, against the conservative Mr Yoon and to investigate his wife over a luxury bag scandal and other allegations.
