South Korea's special counsel team has filed an appeal with the Seoul High Court challenging the acquittal of former President Yoon Suk Yeol on perjury charges related to his testimony in the insurrection trial of former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo. Two courts had previously ruled that Yoon did not give false testimony when he said he intended to hold a full Cabinet meeting before declaring martial law on 3 December 2024, rejecting the prosecution's argument that he only expanded the meeting at Han's suggestion to meet the legal quorum. The case is significant as it forms part of the broader legal proceedings surrounding Yoon's short-lived declaration of martial law, which triggered his impeachment and removal from office.
