South Korea’s president, Yoon Suk Yeol, has been prevented from leaving the country, after opposition politicians accused his party of conducting a “second coup” by refusing to impeach him over his botched imposition of martial law last week.
During a parliamentary hearing on Monday, Bae Sang-up, the justice ministry’s immigration services commissioner, acknowledged that Yoon was subject to a travel ban.
Yoon’s attempt to end civilian rule last Tuesday lasted just six hours after lawmakers scuffled with soldiers in the parliament building before voting to lift the order.
Under South Korea’s constitution, the president remains as head of the government and commander-in-chief of the army unless he or she is incapacitated or resigns.
