South Korea lifts martial law after lawmakers vote to defy president
South Korea’s Cabinet on Wednesday backed a motion passed by lawmakers to lift martial law in the country.
A Cabinet meeting presided over by Prime Minister Han Duck-soo passed the resolution after President Yoon Suk Yeol backtracked from his decision to impose martial law, which had been rejected by most lawmakers.
With the decision, martial law was effectively lifted from the country, according to a procedure laid down in the Constitution.
