Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was released from detention on Saturday after a court voided his arrest on procedural grounds, but he remains under investigation over his declaration of martial law. The suspended president, who was detained in a dawn raid in January on insurrection charges over his December 3 attempt to subvert civilian rule, walked out of the detention centre smiling, bowing deeply before a small crowd of cheering supporters. A court had cancelled his arrest warrant a day earlier on technical and legal grounds, a decision that prosecutors probing Yoon called “unjust”.
