Resistance to arrest warrant has raised troubling questions about chain of command and the ROK’s political stability
Law enforcement’s unprecedented attempt to arrest President Yoon Suk-yeol has exposed deep fractures in South Korea’s security apparatus, testing the rule of law and raised urgent questions about political stability.
The situation was set in motion when the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) sought to carry out an arrest warrant for Yoon this week, only to be stymied by pro-Yoon protesters on Thursday and by presidential security on Friday.
