Mug shot, solitary cell for South Korea's President Yoon

23 Sept 04:10 Key points summarised by AI

South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol was formally arrested and jailed, becoming the first sitting head of state detained in a criminal probe, facing insurrection charges over a botched martial law declaration.
Yoon is held in a standard 12-square-meter cell at Seoul Detention Center, undergoing typical inmate procedures including a mug shot and physical examination.
His detention, approved by a court citing concerns of evidence destruction, comes amidst an ongoing impeachment case and criminal investigation.
Supporters violently protested his arrest at the Seoul court, resulting in dozens of arrests and injuries to 51 police officers.
Yoon has refused questioning, deeming the probe illegal, prompting authorities to consider a forced summons.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
