SEOUL - South Korea’s acting President Choi Sang-mok called on March 14 for the nation to respect and accept any decision, ahead of a Constitutional Court’s ruling on the impeachment of leader Yoon Suk Yeol over his short-lived martial law order.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who lawmakers voted to impeach, was released from detention Saturday after spending nearly two months in custody under a criminal probe for his martial law declaration.

South Korea's air traffic authorities will ban drones from flying around the Constitutional Court in Seoul from Thursday ahead of the ruling on the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

South Korea’s impeached president, Yoon Suk Yeol, on Saturday was released from jail, where he was being held while he faces a criminal trial on charges of insurrection for declaring martial law in December.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who lawmakers voted to impeach and was indicted on criminal charges for declaring martial law last December, was cleared to be released from detention on Friday.

The court ruled that President Yoon Suk Yeol’s detention was unjustified, paving the way for his release from custody on insurrection charges over his failed effort to declare martial law.

Investigators have alleged that Yoon's martial-law decree amounted to rebellion. If is convicted of that offense, he would face the death penalty or life imprisonment.

Authorities are introducing strict security measures in central Seoul, including a no-fly zone, school closures and increased law enforcement presence around the Constitutional Court for the impending ruling on President Yoon Suk Yeol’s impeachment.
