The South Korean court resolutions burdened the President released from prison

Seoul, South Korea (AP) – According to news reports, a South Korean court released President Yoon Suk Yeol from prison on Friday.

The Yonhap news agency reported that the Seoul Central District court made the judgment on Friday. Other South Korean media had similar reports.

The court did not immediately confirm the reports.

Yoon was arrested in January in connection with his war law decrees on December 3.

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

Yoon was charged separately by the legislator in December and left it to the Constitutional Court to decide whether Yoon's presidency should officially end or reinstate it.

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.
