South Korean court orders formal arrest of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over his short-lived martial law decree.

South Korea’s impeached president, Yoon Suk Yeol, was formally arrested on Sunday, days after being apprehended in a massive law enforcement operation at his presidential compound in Seoul.

After lawyers of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol argued that his arrest on January 15 was unlawful, a photo spread in social media posts falsely claiming it showed a search warrant used to illegally detain him rather than an arrest warrant.
