South Korean Special Counsel Requests 23-Year Sentence for Ex-Prime Minister Han in Insurrection Case

The special counsel team in South Korea seeks a 23-year prison term for Han Duck-soo, citing his role in an insurrection linked to the martial law attempt by President Yoon Suk Yeol on December 3, 2024. This request aims to uphold a January court ruling that found Han guilty of facilitating the insurrection by not opposing the martial law declaration. The sentencing decision will significantly impact legal accountability for political actions related to the insurrection.
