South Korean President attends sixth hearing of impeachment trial

Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was indicted for his martial law declaration that plunged the country into political turmoil, with prosecutors accusing him of being a "ringleader of insurrection".

His indictment on Sunday makes him the country's first sitting head of state to face a criminal trial for his short-lived martial law declaration on December 3. Yoon has been ordered to remain in a 12-square-metre cell at a detention center in Seoul for the duration of his trial. 

The court must rule on the case within six months, or he will be released.
