The trial of former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun, who was the first person to be indicted among those related to emergency martial law, will begin on the 16th.

Former Minister Kim is accused of conspiring with the president of Yoon Suk Yeol to block the National Assembly and deploy armed martial law forces.

There are also charges of ordering the arrest and detention of about 10 major politicians, including National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik, and putting martial law forces into the Central Election Commission.

At the time, the prosecution stated in the indictment that the emergency martial law led by former Minister Kim constitutes a civil war and that President Yoon is on top of it.

is illegal.

Starting with former Minister Kim, the military and police leadership trials related to the emergency martial law incident will begin one after another.

First of all, the trial preparation date for the highest-ranking active generals, including Army Chief of Staff Park An-soo, who was the martial law commander, and Yeo In-hyeong, the commander of the Armed Forces, will be held at the Central Military Judicial Court on the 23rd.

On the 6th of next month, the first trial preparation date for Police Commissioner Jo Ji-ho and former Seoul Metropolitan Police Commissioner Kim Bong-sik was set at the Seoul Central District Court.
