Court resolutions of the South Korean President Yoon, who was released from prison for his criminal proceedings for war law

Seoul, South Korea (AP)-A South Korean court ordered the accused President Yoon Suk Yeol more than a month after his arrest and accused of his short-lived imposition of war law.

The decision of the Seoul Central District Court would enable Yoon to endure his criminal proceedings without being physically arrested. The hearings in his office ceremony ended at the end of February, and the court will soon decide whether to maintain or remove his office.

The Seoul Central District Court said that Yoon's application for released from prison accepted the legal period of its formal arrest before it was charged at the end of January. The court said that the investigative authority, which Yoon had imprisoned before his formal arrest, had no legal right to examine the indictment for criminal rebellion.

The investigators have claimed that the War Law Decree is the rebellion. If he was convicted of this crime, he would face the death penalty or lifelong detention.

Yoon's decree of combat law, which included the shipping of troops to the National Assembly, caused traumatic memories of past military rules for many South Koreans. The decree only lasted six hours when there was enough legislators to get into a meeting hall, and agreed to unanimously lift them. Yoon later argued that his decree was only intended to inform the people about the danger of the liberal opposition Democratic Party, which his agenda undergrowed and top official.

If the Constitutional Court maintains Yoon's ceremony, it will be officially thrown out of office and a national election will be recorded to choose its successor within two months.
