South Korea's former interior minister sentenced to 7 years for aiding Yoon’s 2024 martial law decree, which failed after lawmakers breached security.
South Korea's former interior minister, Lee Sang-min, was sentenced to seven years in prison for aiding former President Yoon Suk Yeol’s 2024 martial law declaration, which was quickly lifted after lawmakers broke through a security blockade.
The court found Lee guilty of helping order utility cutoffs to critical media outlets, though the measures were not carried out.
Prosecutors had sought a 15-year sentence, but Lee was acquitted of lesser abuse-of-power charges due to insufficient evidence.
The verdict, based on testimony and security footage, marks the second cabinet conviction in the case, following former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo’s 23-year sentence.
Yoon faces a separate trial on rebellion charges, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty.
