Seoul: South Korea's ousted leader Yoon Suk Yeol issued a call from prison on Wednesday urging his supporters to rally for "freedom" and defending his decision to declare martial law a year ago.
On December 3, 2024, Yoon suspended civilian rule in South Korea for the first time in more than four decades, prompting massive protests and a showdown in parliament.
A year later, the country remains politically polarised as it faces a slowing economy and an ageing population, as well as the lingering threat from North Korea.
Thousands of people joined a rally on Wednesday near the National Assembly in Seoul, where one year ago lawmakers defied soldiers to vote down the martial law bid within hours of the announcement.
A march by supporters of the former leader drew several hundreds.
