A South Korean court sentenced former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo to 23 years in prison for his role in insurrection related to ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law declaration in December 2024. The Seoul Central District Court found Han guilty for facilitating the appearance of a cabinet meeting that supported the martial law. At 76, he is the first former cabinet minister to receive such a ruling, and he was detained immediately after the verdict.
