South Korea's Justice Ministry has decided to ban President Yoon Suk Yeol from traveling abroad as authorities continue investigations into charges of sedition and other violations related to his short-lived attempt to impose emergency law last week. The President's decree led to the mobilization of the military and caused political unrest in South Korea. President Yoon survived an impeachment motion on Friday after most ruling party lawmakers boycotted the vote in parliament.

The opposition has pledged to file another motion for his dismissal during this week.

A Justice Ministry official said Monday that the institution has banned President Yoon from traveling abroad, following requests from the police, prosecutors and anti-corruption agency.

As the Associated Press news agency reports, on Monday, a senior official of the National Police Agency told reporters that the police can arrest the President, if all the conditions are met.

Although the President in South Korea has immunity from criminal prosecution while in office, this provision does not apply in cases of suspected rebellion or treason.

This means President Yoon could be questioned and detained by the police over his decree declaring a state of emergency, although many observers doubt the police will detain him by force, due to the risk of clashes with security forces. of the President.

On Saturday, authorities arrested former Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun who allegedly suggested the President declare a state of emergency. He is the first official arrested in connection with this case./ VOA
