South Korean appeals court sentences former President Yoon Suk Yeol to seven years in prison for obstruction charges
The Seoul High Court sentenced ousted South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol to seven years in prison for resisting arrest, bypassing a legally mandated Cabinet meeting, and falsifying documents before his December 2024 martial law declaration. The sentence increases a lower court's January ruling of five years and reverses a partial acquittal on abuse-of-power charges. This sentence is in addition to a life sentence Yoon previously received on rebellion charges.
