In December 2024, former South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol was sentenced to five years in prison in a first-instance ruling by the Seoul Central District Court on charges related to insurrection. The case stems from allegations that during his presidency, Yoon abused power, interfered with judicial independence, and either orchestrated or condoned actions aimed at undermining national order—making him the first former president in South Korea’s constitutional history to be prosecuted and convicted under the charge of ‘insurrection.’ The court found that Yoon exceeded his constitutional authority during specific political incidents, using illegal means to suppress political opponents and severely damaging democratic institutions and the rule of law. Prosecutors argued his conduct met the definition of ‘insurrection’ under Article 87 of the Korean Criminal Code, which criminalizes acts intended to overthrow the state system or obstruct the normal functioning of state organs. Although Yoon maintains his innocence and has announced plans to appeal, the verdict has sparked intense public debate over presidential powers, judicial independence, and historical accountability. The case is now under review in the appellate court, with a final ruling pending.
2024年12月，韩国前总统尹锡悦因涉嫌参与内乱被首尔中央地方法院一审判决有期徒刑5年。此案源于其在任期间被指控滥用职权、干预司法及涉嫌策划或纵容破坏国家秩序的行为，成为韩国宪政史上首位因‘内乱罪’被起诉并判刑的前总统。法院认定，尹锡悦在特定政治事件中超越宪法赋予的权限，采取非法手段压制异己，严重破坏民主制度与法治原则。检方指出，其行为已构成《韩国刑法》第87条所定义的‘内乱罪’，即意图颠覆国家体制或妨害国家职能正常运作。尽管尹锡悦方面坚称无罪，并表示将上诉，但此判决引发韩国社会广泛讨论，涉及总统权力边界、司法独立性及历史清算等深层议题。目前案件已进入二审程序，最终结果仍待高等法院裁定。
