South Korea’s National Assembly, which is mainly controlled by the opposition party, has decided to impeach the acting leader, Han Duck-soo. They voted 192 to 0 on Friday, but members of the ruling party did not participate in the vote.
Han Duck-soo became the acting president after the assembly removed President Yoon Suk Yeol from office earlier this month. Yoon was impeached because he briefly declared martial law, which is a strict form of government control.
The decision to impeach Han Duck-soo adds to the ongoing political troubles in South Korea and affects how the country is viewed internationally.
