SEOUL: Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol did not attend his second trial on martial law-related charges for the third consecutive session on Tuesday.
The hearing at the Seoul Central District Court proceeded in his absence, after the bench said conditions had not changed since the previous session, which he also skipped after the detention centre where he is being held determined it would be impossible to bring him in by force.
The second trial concerns charges that the former president violated the rights of Cabinet members in the process of declaring martial law in December, revised the martial law proclamation afterwards and obstructed his detention by investigators in January.
