Sol, March 15 (IANS). Thousands of supporters and protesters gathered on Saturday in Sol, South Korea. The President of the Constitutional Court, Union Suk Yol, is going to recite his decision over the impeachment on the country, due to which the political atmosphere of the country has been hot.

Let me tell you on 3 December, on the charge of inciting rebellion through unsuccessful attempt to implement martial law. He was released from jail on March 9, as the prosecution decided not to appeal against his court’s court verdict. The court had described Yu’s custody as illegal. However, impeachment and criminal cases against Yu will continue.
