South Korea bars two former acting presidents from overseas travel
Briefly

South Korea's former acting presidents, Han Duck-soo and Choi Sang-mok, face travel bans as part of a police investigation into insurrection allegations linked to Yoon Suk-yeol's brief martial law declaration in December 2024. Yoon's declaration, which he claimed was a response to political infiltration, was revoked within hours by parliament, resulting in a constitutional crisis. A judge recently ruled Yoon had overstepped authority, leading to his trial for insurrection. Both Han and Choi are questioned about their role during this turbulent period as South Koreans prepare for upcoming elections.
Han Duck-soo and Choi Sang-mok are being investigated over alleged insurrection linked to Yoon Suk-yeol's martial law bid last year.
The declaration of emergency martial law in December 2024 by Yoon was revoked hours later, leading to South Korea's unprecedented constitutional crisis.
The former president, Yoon Suk-yeol, who declared martial law, is on trial for insurrection charges and could face life in prison or the death penalty.
South Korean authorities have imposed travel bans on Han Duck-soo and Choi Sang-mok as they are under investigation for their roles during the martial law chaos.
