South Korea's former President Yoon Suk-yeol returned to jail on Thursday after a court issued a warrant sought by special counsel investigating Yoon's short-lived martial law imposition. The Seoul Central District Court accepted the issuance request from Cho Eun-suk, the independent counsel leading the investigation into Yoon's insurrection and other charges, stating that Yoon was feared to destroy evidence. The charges specified in the warrant included obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and writing a false official document. Yoon is also accused of violating the rights of cabinet members by excluding most of them from a key meeting ahead of the declaration of martial law last December. Additional charges include ordering the dissemination of false statements to foreign media, instructing aides to obstruct his arrest in January, and ordering the deletion of call records from secure phones. Yoon is now being held at the Seoul Detention Center, pending further investigation for up to 20 days as prosecutors prepare a formal indictment. Outside the detention center, security remains extremely tight, with a large presence of law enforcement and a small contingent of the former president's supporters. "I came here today to tell Yoon Suk-yeol to stay strong and have courage, even as he heads to court for questioning. He should know that behind him are people like us, who are working hard for our country and supporting him all the way," said Kang Gil-bong, a supporter of Yoon. Yoon's legal team has called the warrant unreasonable and denied all allegations against him. Yoon was apprehended in the presidential office on January 15 and was indicted under detention on January 26 as a suspected ringleader of insurrection. He was released on March 8, as prosecutors decided not to appeal the court's approval of his release. The Constitutional Court upheld a motion to impeach Yoon on April 4, over his botched bid for martial law last December, officially removing him from office.
