Yoon Suk Yeol's president protested that he had only declared a warning martial law to publicize the anti-state actions of the giant opposition and that he did not intend to paralyze the functioning of the National Assembly.

But earlier in the military, the president himself ordered the lawmakers to be pulled out.Or there was a series of testimony that the arrest team was operated.

Who lied?

I'm reporter Ahn Yoon-hak.

President Yoon claimed that the purpose of putting the military into the National Assembly at the time of martial law was to "maintain order."He said he had no intention of taking control of the National Assembly, saying

'unarmed' troops were deployed on a 'small scale'.

[Yoon Suk Yeol / President] With less than 300 unarmed troops, you can't take control of that vast parliamentary space for a considerable period of time.]

However, it is true that the testimony of soldiers released so far has many questions about whether the purpose was to maintain order.

There was an arrest team of 14 politicians, including representatives of the ruling and opposition parties and the speaker of the National Assembly.Or,

[Kim Dae-woo / Head of investigation at the time of martial law (10th): I received direct instructions from Commander Yeo In-hyeong. Make sure there's a facility in the B1 bunker for detention....]

There was also a revelation that the president himself instructed him to break down the door of the plenary session of the National Assembly and bring down lawmakers.

[Kwak Jong-geun / Special Warfare Commander at the time of martial law (10th): (President) It seems that the quorum of the decision has not been filled yet, break the door quickly and take out the personnel inside....]

Although it was not actually implemented, suspicions were raised that Tasers and orders to use horror bullets were spread from the top.

[Kwak Jong-geun / Special Warfare Commander at the time of martial law (10th): Horror bullets and Taser guns were spread as if they were just using them. / The content you were instructed to was spread through this microphone broadcast..]

Above all, the martial law command decree was No. 1 to ban the activities of the National Assembly and political parties.President

Yoon said at the time of martial law that he had never ordered parliamentary officials to block entry into the compound, but numerous lawmakers, including the National Assembly speaker at the time, had to go over the wall to enter the plenary hall.

He also said he only discussed with former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun until just before the emergency martial law was declared, but it was found that major units belonging to special forces and counterintelligence agents had been on emergency standby at least two days ago.
