Parliament passes special counsel bill on fabricated indictments

The National Assembly, led by the ruling Democratic Party, passed a bill Friday calling for a special counsel probe into allegations of fabricated indictments targeting President Lee Jae Myung and others under the previous Yoon Suk Yeol administration, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. The bill, introduced by the ruling party, passed the plenary session on Nov. 6 after clearing a parliamentary subcommittee and standing committee earlier in the week. The ruling Democratic Party dismissed claims the bill is unconstitutional, while the main opposition People Power Party called for President Lee's impeachment and the resumption of his criminal trials at a protest, KBS World reports.
