They release the president of South Korea, Yoon Suk Yeol, after being arrested two months ago to declare martial law

The Prosecutor’s Office of South Korea has announced that the opinion of the Court that has revoked the arrest of the suspended president of the country, Yoon Suk Yeol, and ordered the release of the disabled president has not appealed.

Prosecutors have confirmed that they will comply with the decision of the Central District of Seoul and have already notified the Uiwang detention center, the site where the suspended president has been detention for 52 days, that the procedures of his release begin, reports the official news agency of the country.

Yoon has been suspended since the National Assembly approved on December 14 its dismissal as investigations continue against it for its failed statement of martial law made that month and that dragged the country to an unprecedented political crisis.

The Constitutional Court has 180 days to ratify or cancel the parliamentary decision and, in case the dismissal, the country must go to elections in a period of 60 days.
