Seoul’s national security advisor said on Friday that if Yoon Suk Yeol’s impeached president tried to re-establish an arrest warrant after his failed bid for military law, there must be no bloodshed.
After his brief but unsuccessful power get plunged South Korea into its worst political crisis in decades, Yoon has refused to question people and last week resisted imprisonment in a tense stand-off between his security team and authorities.
National surveillance company commander Park Chong-jun told reporters on Friday,” I understand some people are concerned about the current situation where government authorities are in conflict and confrontation.”
Before being interrogated at the Korean National Police Agency, he continued,” I believe that under no circumstances should there be natural conflicts or killing.”
After an initial seven-day buy expired on Monday, authorities obtained a new arrest warrant for Yoon this fortnight. Several hundred of his followers had to endure sub-zero conditions as they rushed to the president’s home.
Rival demonstrators have neither demanded that Yoon’s impeachment be overturned or that he be detained immediately.
If the arrest of Yoon is successful, he would become the first South Korean president to remain detained while in office.
Yoon’s legitimate group has stated that they will not follow the latest permit.
The Corruption Investigation Office ( CIO ) has declared that it would “prepare thoroughly” for the second arrest attempt.
