Deccan Herald's video: Martial Law in South Korea Opposition supporters gather outside parliament chant slogans

Supporters of the South Korean Opposition Party gathered at the front of the parliament in the early hours of Wednesday (December 4) calling for the dismissal of the martial law President Yoon Sook Yeol declared hours before. In a surprise late-night TV address, Yoon on Tuesday (December 3) declared martial law, slamming domestic political opponents and sending shockwaves through the country. Yoon said opposition parties had taken the parliamentary process hostage. He vowed to eradicate "shameless pro-North Korean anti-state forces" and said he had no choice but to take the measures to safeguard constitutional order. Yonhap news agency cited the military as saying activities by parliament and political parties would be banned, and that media and publishers would be under the control of the martial law command. That did not stop hundreds of protesters and media from gathering in front of the parliament, shouting slogans and raising a South Korean flag in defiance. ------------ Liked the video?
