Trial Against Deposed South Korean President Begins

seoul - The trial of former South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol starts with serious charges. Legal experts predict a lengthy trial.

Legal Proceedings Commence

The trial of ex-South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol began on Monday, with prosecutors alleging misuse of power.

The prosecutors argued that Yoon had no legal basis for declaring a state of emergency and accused him of attempting to paralyze state institutions.

The charge of rebellion against the ousted leader carries a potential sentence of life imprisonment or even the death penalty, although South Korea has not executed anyone for decades.

Experts anticipate a protracted legal process, with an initial verdict likely to be delivered in August.
