SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea's special prosecution team on Sunday filed a request to detain former President Yoon Suk Yeol on charges related to insurrection from when he declared martial law last year, the prosecutor's office said in a statement.
Yoon's martial law decree on December 3 was lifted after about six hours when lawmakers, who had been forced to scale walls of the assembly building to make it through a ring of security forces, voted the decree down.
