Highlights
  • The court convicted Yoon Suk Yeol of leading an insurrection and handed him life imprisonment with labour, sparking debate over accountability for state power.
  • Outside the court, crowds of opponents cheered at first, then mood shifted to disappointment and anger over what many see as a lenient verdict for a historic act.
  • Analysts compare the verdict with pardons for other conservatives, warning a life sentence could be reversed via pardon, unlike a death sentence.
