Former President Yoon Seok-yeol has been recommended for the death penalty on charges of leading an insurrection. The special counsel team argued that the former president declared emergency martial law to monopolize power and secure extended rule, forcibly sealed off the National Assembly and the Central Election Management Committee with armed forces, and attempted press censorship. The team determined these constituted anti-state activities that fundamentally violated national security, people's survival, and freedom. The special counsel team emphasized the death penalty recommendation while noting that the former president showed no genuine reflection or awareness of responsibility.
