South Korea Arrests Impeached Ex-Leader for a Second Time

Yoon Suk Yeol, South Korea’s ousted president, already on trial on insurrection charges, was rearrested and sent back to jail early on Thursday after a special prosecutor accused him of additional criminal offenses.

Mr. Yoon was impeached by South Korea’s legislature in December​ and arrested in January after a short-lived attempt to place his country under martial law in 2024. He was the first president in South Korean history to be indicted on criminal charges while in office.
