South Korea: Impeached Prez Yoon Evades Arrest As Presidential Security Face Off With Investigators

Dramatic chaos unfolded in the South Korean capital Seoul as investigators attempted to arrest impeached President Yoon Suk-Yeol. In a dramatic standoff at his Seoul residence, investigators were blocked by pro-Yoon protesters and presidential security forces, forcing them to abandon the arrest. Yoon faces allegations of insurrection after imposing a short-lived martial law on December 3, 2024, and defying multiple summons for questioning. With the arrest warrant expiring on January 6, it remains uncertain if the investigators will attempt to detain the embattled leader again. Supporters demand Yoon's return to power, while opponents call for swift criminal punishment and systemic reform.

Plz.. Let all countries know about Korea's situation. We want free democracy. We are against pro-China and pro-North Korea. We are fighting against anti-state forces.

Currently, the impeachment trial of the president is also losing fairness. For example, documents submitted by the President to the Constitutional Court have flowed into the left-wing media. I ask the international community and the UN Human Rights Council for help.

The current majority party—the Democratic Party—in the Korean National Assembly demonstrates a strong pursuit of communistic ideologies and policies favoring North Korea and China, raising significant concerns about its commitment to the sovereignty and well-being of South Korea. Leveraging its parliamentary majority, this party has engaged in a series of detrimental, unconstitutional, and irrational actions, including initiating 29 impeachment motions targeting President Yoon, cabinet members, military leaders, prosecutors, and other key figures vital to the nation's governance and security. The current national situation in South Korea has become disastrous, with emergent dangers prompting President Yoon to declare martial law on December 3, 2024.

Rather than serving the collective interests of the Korean people, the Democratic Party has been recklessly manipulating its legislative power to safeguard the political tenure of its leadership, notably Representative Jae-myung Lee, who is currently involved in 12 criminal cases under prosecution. Lee Jae-myung is no longer a politician or a leader but a criminal, as evidenced by his criminal actions throughout his life.

Of even greater concern are allegations suggesting that over 50 current legislators out of 180s from the ruling party secured their positions through fraudulent voting in cooperation with the Chinese government. Consequently, President Yoon has clearly stated that martial law was implemented to expose all instances of electoral fraud and the associated criminal activities, including those tied to foreign influence. Such claims highlight a severe violation of electoral integrity, threatening the democratic foundation of the Republic of Korea.

The impeachment of President Yoon would not merely destabilize the current government but could pave the way for South Korea's further subordination to foreign influences, drawing unsettling parallels to the fate of Hong Kong. It is imperative for the South Korean people to act decisively to uphold democratic values and safeguard national sovereignty against these grave developments.

The rampant actions of the Democratic Party in South Korea exemplify the "tyranny of the majority, " as warned by Alexis de Tocqueville in *Democracy in America*. The exploitation of majority rule to undermine democratic principles endangers the nation's sovereignty and its people's future.

In conclusion, all freedom-loving conservatives in South Korea can no longer overlook or endure the nation's catastrophic situation. Instead, they are rising to nullify the illegal and unconstitutional actions carried out by the Communist-aligned Democratic Party and to restore true freedom and genuine democracy to South Korea. We, the Korean people, must restore true freedom and genuine democracy, rejecting any path that leads to subjugation under North Korea and China. We urgently seek the steadfast support and prayers of our close allies, the United States, others good allies, and their good citizens. We call on them to stand with the freedom-loving, conservative, and faith-driven people of Korea in our fight to uphold liberty and democracy against China and North Korea!

Great respect to Yoon's supporters!

America has three global lieutenants around the world
1) UK in Europe
2) Israel in Middle East
3) Japan in Asia
But US is also smart enough to have a backup, so...they have
1) Germany in Europe
2) Qatar in Middle East
3) South Korea in Asia

Please save the Republic of Korea ruled by the Communist Party of China. (중국 공산당에게 지배된 대한민국을 구해주세요.)😢

부정선거로 당선된 야당의 횡포로 국 가가 공산화됨을 국민들에게 알리기위한 3시간동안의 계엄령이었습니다. 대다수의 국민들은 이를 이해하였고 지금은 현재대통령이 빨리 복귀하길 원합니다. 윤대통령을 강하게 지지합니다.
