The move followed a court ruling that the detention of President Yoon Suk Yeol was invalid, but it won’t affect the insurrection and other charges he faces for declaring martial law.

Impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol was released from jail Saturday, one day after a court ruled his confinement was illegal and he would stand trial without physical detention.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who lawmakers voted to impeach, was released from detention Saturday after spending nearly two months in custody under a criminal probe for his martial law declaration.
