“Around 2:50 a.m. local time on Sunday, the Seoul Western District Court issued a fresh arrest warrant against Yoon Suk-yeol, who has been impeached but remains the sitting president of South Korea. Yoon was already in detention; the new warrant allows the investigation team to lock him up for up to 20 days (until February 7). … Yoon supporters broke the gates and windows of the Seoul Western Court and intruded inside the building to protest directly against a judge who issued the warrant. Some of them tried to find the judge and trespassed into her office, which is located on the seventh floor, raising concerns that confidential documents related to trials and personal information about the judge may have been illegally obtained by pro-Yoon rioters.” (01/20/25)
