Aliyekuwa Rais wa Korea Kusini, Yoon Suk Yeol, amehukumiwa kifungo cha maisha jela kwa kuamuru hali ya kijeshi kwa muda mfupi mwezi Desemba 2024.
Jaji Jee Kui-youn amesema amempata Yoon na hatia ya uasi baada ya kuhamasisha wanajeshi na polisi katika jaribio lisilo halali la kuliteka Bunge linaloongozwa na mrengo wa kiliberali, kuwakamata wanasiasa na kuanzisha mamlaka yasiyokuwa na mipaka kwa muda “mkubwa.”
=======================
Former President Yoon Suk Yeol was sentenced to life in prison for his brief imposition of martial law in December 2024.
Judge Jee Kui-youn said he found Yoon guilty of rebellion for mobilizing military and police forces in an illegal attempt to seize the liberal-led National Assembly, arrest politicians and establish unchecked power for a "considerable" time.
Yoon is likely to appeal the verdict.
A special prosecutor had demanded the death penalty for Yoon, saying his actions posed a threat to the country's democracy and deserved the most serious punishment available, but most analysts expect a life sentence since the poorly-planned power grab did not result in casualties.
South Korea has not executed a death row inmate since 1997, in what is widely seen as a de facto moratorium on capital punishment amid calls for its abolition.
As Yoon arrived in court, hundreds of police officers watched closely as Yoon supporters rallied outside a judicial complex, their cries rising as the prison bus transporting him drove past. Yoon's critics gathered nearby, demanding the death penalty.
