Lawyers for impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol are denouncing efforts to detain him over his short-lived imposition of martial law, while the country’s acting leader expressed concern over a possible clash between law enforcement agents and presidential security personnel.

President Yoon Suk Yeol’s security service stopped an effort to detain him on insurrection charges and has vowed to do so again. Its roots are in the era of military dictatorships.
