Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was rearrested on Wednesday on insurrection charges. Yoon attempted to impose martial law on the country in December.
If found guilty, Yoon could face lifetime imprisonment or execution. Yoon faces five charges, including violating the rights of Cabinet members for meeting with only a select few before launching his coup attempt and forging a false martial law declaration.
