South Korean appeals court reduces Han Duck-soo's prison sentence in martial law case
A Seoul appeals court on Thursday reduced former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo's prison sentence from 23 years to 15 years for his role in President Yoon Suk Yeol's December 2024 martial law declaration. The court maintained most of Han's convictions but lessened penalties after considering his 50+ years as a public official. Yoon's martial law decree briefly suspended civilian government in December 2024 but lasted only six hours before opposition lawmakers voted to overturn it.
