Impeached South Korean president's lawyers slam detention efforts as acting leader warns of clash

Lawyers for impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol are denouncing efforts to detain him over his short-lived imposition of martial law, while the country’s acting leader expressed concern over a possible clash between law enforcement agents and presidential security personnel. The presidential security service has fortified Yoon’s compound with barbed wire and rows of tightly placed vehicles as anti-corruption officials and police prepare another attempt to detain him following a failed effort last week. The anti-corruption office that is leading the investigation has been seeking Yoon’s detention since he repeatedly ignored summons for questioning about whether his brief power grab on Dec. 3 constituted rebellion.
