S Korea political crisis: Impeached Prez Yoon vows to 'fight to the end'

Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol issued a defiant statement to his conservative supporters gathered outside his residence in the capital of Seoul, vowing to "fight to the end" against what he called "anti-state forces," as law enforcement prepared to detain him over last month's martial law decree.

SEOUL:

The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials has a week to execute its detainment warrant against Yoon, issued by a Seoul court on Tuesday. The warrant came after Yoon defied several requests to appear for questioning and blocked searches of his office, hindering an investigation into whether his short-lived power grab on December 3 amounted to rebellion.
