South Korea's impeached President Yoon arrested after weeks-long standoff
South Korea's embattled leader Yoon Suk Yeol has been arrested, capping more than six weeks of political and legal turmoil stemming from his short-lived imposition of martial law last month. He's the nation's first sitting president to be detained. Mr Yoon skipped the opening of his impeachment trial yesterday. He has reportedly refused to speak to anti-graft officials or have his interviews with investigators recorded on video. In a video message recorded before his detention, Mr Yoon claimed the country's law had collapsed, and that he was submitting himself for questioning to avoid any violence.
