The Seoul Central District Court has denied an arrest warrant for former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, who faced allegations related to the imposition of martial law during his tenure.
The court's decision came after a hearing on Wednesday, where the prosecution argued that Han should be detained for his involvement in the controversial measures. However, the court concluded that the evidence presented did not sufficiently warrant an arrest.
Han Duck-soo, who served as Prime Minister, has been under scrutiny for his actions during a period marked by significant political unrest.
The ruling is seen as a critical moment in the ongoing investigation into the government's response to protests and civil unrest during his administration.
Legal experts suggest that this decision may impact future proceedings related to other officials involved in similar allegations.
