South Korean parliament moves to impeach President Yoon

Reuters Wires

South Korea&#x27;s parliament formally introduced a motion to impeach Yoon Suk Yeol, setting the stage for a historic vote which could oust the embattled president over a botched attempt to impose martial law. Yoon&#x27;s declaration of martial law attempted to ban political activity and censor the media in South Korea, which has Asia&#x27;s fourth largest economy and is a key U.S. ally. The shock move divided Yoon&#x27;s ministers and unleashed six hours of political chaos.The impeachment motion against Yoon was reported to a plenary session that opened shortly after midnight, in the early hours of Thursday morning.  Following the introduction of the motion, a vote on impeachment must be held within 24 to 72 hours. - Report from Reuters
