South Korean ex-President Yoon gets life for insurrection

South Korea's former president Yoon Suk Yeol was found guilty of rebellion and sentenced to life in prison, sparking anger from both supporters and critics. Pro‑Yoon groups, inspired by US "Stop the Steal" rhetoric, rejected the ruling, while opponents called the sentence too lenient. The case stems from Yoon’s 2024 martial law declaration, which led to impeachment and arrest. With six more trials ahead, the political crisis remains unresolved.
