**SEOUL, South Korea** – South Korea’s Prime Minister and acting President, Han Duck-soo, was impeached by parliament on Friday. This follows the recent impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol, whose short-lived declaration of martial law on December 3rd triggered widespread protests and political chaos.
The impeachment motion, filed by the main opposition Democratic Party, cited Han’s refusal to appoint three judges to the Constitutional Court, a crucial step in the process of adjudicating President Yoon’s impeachment trial. The country remains deeply divided and politically unstable in the wake of these dramatic events.
