Rais wa Korea Kusini Yoon Suk Yeol amekamatwa kwa jaribio la kutangaza sheria ya kijeshi.
Tukio hili linaashiria mara ya kwanza katika historia ya Korea Kusini ambapo rais aliyeko madarakani amekamatwa
Yoon anakabiliwa na mashtaka ya uasi na ufisadi kutokana na tangazo lake la sheria ya kijeshi mwezi uliopita
==================================================
South Korea’s impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested on Wednesday in a massive police operation, with the embattled leader defiantly insisting an investigation into him is illegal and he only complied to prevent violence.
His arrest, the first ever for an incumbent president, is the latest development for one of Asia's most vibrant democracies, which has a history of prosecuting and imprisoning former leaders.
In a video message recorded before he was escorted to the headquarters of South Korea's anti-corruption agency, Mr Yoon said the “rule of law has completely collapsed in this country”.
The operation to arrest Mr Yoon involved some 3,000 police officers after he had been holed up for weeks at his residence in Seoul while vowing to “fight to the end” against efforts to oust him. He had been guarded by a small army of personal security that blocked a previous arrest attempt.
The saga began on December 3 when Mr Yoon declared martial law for the first time in 44 years, saying it was needed to tackle “anti-state” opposition using their legislative majority to thwart his political agenda. He deployed troops around the National Assembly but legislators managed to get through the blockade and vote to lift the measure.
His declaration shocked South Koreans, rattled Asia's fourth largest economy and started an unprecedented period of political turmoil.
