Prosecutors Again Seek Death Penalty for Yoon in Appeal

On October 29, 2026, the special counsel team again demanded the death penalty for former President Yoon Suk Yeol during his appeal trial on insurrection charges linked to his December 2024 martial law declaration. Yonhap reports the team, led by special counsel Cho E., made the request on Thursday, and KBS World confirms this is a renewed demand in the appeals case. The Korea Times also notes the request stems from his failed attempt to impose martial law. Korean media coverage focuses on the legal proceedings, with no blog or café reactions included in the supplied documents.
