The liberal opposition-controlled National Assembly separately voted to impeach him, leading to his suspension from office.<\/p>\n<p>The Constitutional Court has been deliberating whether to formally dismiss or reinstate Yoon. If the court upholds his impeachment, a national election will be held to find his successor within two months.<\/p>\n<p>The Seoul Central District Court said Friday it accepted Yoon&#8217;s request to be released from prison, citing the need to address questions over the legality of the investigations on the president. Yoon&#8217;s lawyers have accused the investigative agency that detained him before his formal arrest of lacking legal authority to probe <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/south-korean-president-yoon-suk-yeol-impeached-indicted-martial-law-reports\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">rebellion charges<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The Seoul court also said the legal period of his formal arrest expired before he was indicted. <\/p>\n<p>Yoon&#8217;s release came after prosecutors decided not to appeal the decision by the Seoul court. South Korean law allows prosecutors to continue to hold a suspect while pursuing an appeal, even after his or her arrest is canceled by a court.<\/p>\n<p>The main liberal opposition Democratic Party, which led Yoon&#8217;s Dec. 14 impeachment, lashed out at the prosecutors&#8217; decision, calling them &#8220;henchmen&#8221; of Yoon, a former prosecutor general. Party spokesperson Cho Seung-rae urged the Constitutional Court to dismiss Yoon as soon as possible to avoid further public unrest and anxiety.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img alt=\"South Korea Martial Law \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/03\/08\/95065cc9-a410-4459-b5a4-19af9304558a\/thumbnail\/620x413\/ec35be6bce886996ce1cdda71d8f64ab\/ap25067174275551.jpg?v=63a2b43e2ef8917aa6bd547ca29dd4fa 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/03\/08\/95065cc9-a410-4459-b5a4-19af9304558a\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/c8892aff7cdc30c25b094e5d274e21bd\/ap25067174275551.jpg?v=63a2b43e2ef8917aa6bd547ca29dd4fa 2x\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">Supporters of impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol stage a rally to oppose his impeachment in Seoul, South Korea, Saturday, March 8, 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Ahn Young-joon \/ AP<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At the heart of public criticism of Yoon over his martial law decree was his dispatch of hundreds of troops and police officers to the National Assembly after <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/south-korea-ex-defense-minister-detained-over-martial-law-declaration\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">placing the country under military rule<\/a><\/span>. Some senior military and police officials sent to the assembly have testified that Yoon ordered them to pull out lawmakers to thwart a parliamentary vote on the decree. Yoon has countered that he aimed to maintain order.<\/p>\n<p>Enough lawmakers eventually managed to enter an assembly hall and voted unanimously to overturn Yoon&#8217;s decree.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators have alleged Yoon&#8217;s martial-law decree amounted to rebellion. If he&#8217;s convicted of that offense, he would face the death penalty or life imprisonment. Yoon has presidential immunity from most criminal prosecutions but that doesn&#8217;t cover grave charges like rebellion and treason.<\/p>\n<p>Yoon has said he didn&#8217;t intend to maintain martial law for long as he only attempted to inform the public of the danger of the Democratic Party, which obstructed his agenda and impeached many senior officials and prosecutors. In his martial law announcement, Yoon called the assembly &#8220;a den of criminals&#8221; and &#8220;anti-state forces.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>South Korea&#8217;s conservative-liberal divide is severe, and rallies either supporting or denouncing Yoon&#8217;s impeachment have divided Seoul streets. Experts say whatever decision the Constitutional Court makes, the division is certain to worsen.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation
