A former South Korean Justice Minister, Park Sung-je, has received a 25-year prison sentence for his involvement in a failed attempt to impose martial law. The case centers around actions taken while the current President, Yoon Suk-yeol, was a prosecutor. Park was found guilty of participating in the plot to unlawfully establish military rule. The sentencing follows a high-profile trial examining the circumstances surrounding the attempted power grab. Yoon Suk-yeol is currently serving a life sentence related to the same events. News agency Yonhap reported the verdict, highlighting the gravity of the offense and its implications for South Korean political history. The ruling underscores accountability for actions undermining democratic processes.
