Former South Korean President Yeon Suk-yeol had incited North Korea to attack in order to impose martial law in his country. This disclosure has been given by the investigation committee formed against the jailed former President.
Covert drone sent into North Korea’s airspace
According to the investigation, Yol, along with the Defense Minister of his cabinet and the chief of the intelligence agency, had sent covert drones into North Korea’s airspace to impose martial law. These drones were sent to the ancestral home of North Korean dictator Kim Jong. By doing this, the deposed President of South Korea had conspired to create a war-like situation with North Korea. But when North Korea did not retaliate, Yeol imposed martial law on December 3, 2024, accusing his country’s opposition leaders of being in collusion with North Korea.
The conspiracy collapsed in six hours
After about six hours of martial law, Yol had to withdraw his decision. Because the opposition parties, along with the army, police and public, had foiled Yol’s conspiracy. MPs of opposition parties and the public had captured the Parliament of South Korea and took to the streets. According to the investigative committee, Yole had tried to impose military-junta (military rule) in South Korea.
Impeachment and arrest
Parliament had ousted Yol from the post of President through impeachment. In the month of April this year, a total of 24 people including Yol and five ministers of his cabinet were arrested and sent to jail. These included the Intelligence Chief and the Army Chief. For almost six months, the investigation committee has unearthed the conspiracy to impose martial law by inquiring against Yol.
Fear of losing power after election defeat
According to the committee, after his defeat in the parliamentary elections, Yol began to fear losing his seat. In such a situation, Yol conspired to impose military rule under his leadership so that the democratic structure could be destroyed and power could be continued.
