Wed Dec 04 06:08:11 UTC 2024: ## South Korea Lifts Martial Law After Parliamentary Rejection
**Seoul, South Korea** – South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol announced the lifting of martial law late Tuesday night, following its overwhelming rejection by the National Assembly. The decision comes after 190 out of 300 lawmakers, from both ruling and opposition parties, unanimously voted against the measure. This marks the first time martial law has been imposed and subsequently revoked in South Korea since 1980, when it was implemented during widespread student and labor union protests. The President addressed the nation, confirming the end of martial law following the parliamentary vote. The specific reasons for the initial imposition of martial law were not detailed in the announcement.
