South Korea’s impeached President Yoon released from prison

13 Sept 14:42 Key points summarised by AI

Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was released from prison after a Seoul court canceled his arrest, allowing him to stand trial for rebellion without detention.
Yoon's arrest and indictment in January followed his December 3 martial law decree, which plunged the country into political turmoil and led to his suspension from office by the National Assembly.
The Seoul Central District Court justified his release by citing questions over the legality of the investigations and the expiration of his formal arrest period before indictment.
The Constitutional Court is currently deliberating whether to formally dismiss or reinstate Yoon, with a decision expected to significantly impact South Korea's political future.
Yoon faces grave charges of rebellion for his martial law decree, which involved dispatching troops to the National Assembly, a move he claims was to maintain order against the opposition.

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.
