KABUL: President of South Korea, Yoon Suk Yeol, on Tuesday, announced the annulment of the recently emerged martial law in the country.
The decision comes after widespread protests from both allied and opposition political parties, as well as thousands of citizens across the country.
Previously, President Yoon had justified the imposition of martial law as a measure to protect South Korea from communist forces.
However, this action faced significant backlash, prompting people to take to the streets in protest.
The declaration of martial law also elicited international reactions, highlighting concerns over civil liberties and governance in South Korea.
The lifting of the martial law is seen as a response to public pressure and a step toward restoring normalcy in the political landscape.
