South Korean president reverses martial law decree after night of protests
South Korea's President Yoon Suk-yeol said on Wednesday morning that he would lift the martial law decree which he had made in a live television broadcast late on Tuesday, following a chaotic night during which protesters stormed South Korea's National Assembly.
Yoon said in his televised emergency address on Tuesday that he was declaring martial law to eradicate anti-state forces and uphold free constitutional order.
Early on Wednesday, South Korea's National Assembly voted unanimously to rescind the martial law decree with 18 lawmakers of the ruling People Power Party and 172 lawmakers of opposition parties in attendance and voting in favor.
