South Korea: Special Counsel detains ex-PM Hwang over alleged insurrection incitement

Source: United Press International

“A special counsel team detained former Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn Wednesday on charges of inciting an insurrection following former President Yoon Suk Yeol’s imposition of martial law. Hwang, who served under former President Park Geun-hye, made Facebook posts following the martial law imposition Dec. 3 to call for the eradication of pro-North Korea forces and those involved in alleged electoral fraud. He also called for the arrest of National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik and then People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon. Investigators from special counsel Cho Eun-suk’s team executed a detention warrant for Hwang at his home in Seoul’s Yongsan Ward after he ignored three summonses to appear for questioning.” (11/12/25)
