Ex-PM Hwang Kyo-ahn gets detained over martial law case

(MENAFN) South Korean prosecutors detained former Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn on Wednesday on charges of inciting an insurrection following the imposition of martial law by former President Yoon Suk Yeol last December.

Hwang reportedly posted on Facebook after martial law was declared on December 3, calling for the elimination of pro-North Korea forces and individuals allegedly involved in electoral fraud. He also urged the arrest of National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik and then-People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon.

Hwang served as prime minister from 2015 to 2017 under former President Park Geun-hye and briefly acted as president from 2016 to 2017.

Investigators from special counsel Cho Eun-suk’s team detained Hwang after he failed to respond to three prior summonses for questioning.
