A South Korean court ‌on Wednesday sentenced former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo to ⁠23 years in jail ‍for charges ‍including engaging ‍in a key ⁠action of insurrection concerning ex-President ​Yoon Suk Yeol’s declaration of martial law in December 2024.<\/p>\n

The Seoul Central District ⁠Court found Han guilty on the charge because he was considered instrumental in setting up the outward appearance of a cabinet meeting that worked to facilitate the martial law declaration, a judge said.<\/p>\n

Han, ​76, is the first former cabinet ⁠minister to be handed a ruling by a lower court ‍on criminal charges ‌directly related ‌to martial law.<\/p>\n

Han ‍was detained by the ‌court immediately after ‍the ruling.<\/p>\n
