Impeached South Korean President Yoon meets ruling party leadership day after release from jail. Yoon was detained in January on charges of inciting an insurrection through his failed bid to impose martial law on December 3. Prosecutor General Shim Woo-jung said decision not to appeal a court ruling to release impeached President was based on \”due process of law\” He rejected the opposition’s calls for his resignation and said he would \”respond accordingly\” should the National Assembly take steps to impeach him. He said he did not agree with the Seoul Central District Court’s calculation of Yoon’s 10-day initial detention period in hours, not days, and has directed the investigation team to dispute the point during the actual trial. He also pointed to the Constitutional Court’s former ruling that deemed it unconstitutional to immediately appeal a suspension of the execution of an arrest warrant. The Constitutional Court is expected to decide in the coming days whether to uphold or dismiss, Yonhap news agency reported. He was released from jail Saturday after the prosecution decided not to appealed the previous day’s ruling that his detention was invalid.
