SEOUL: South Korean former President Yoon Suk Yeol has filed for a review of the legality of his arrest, his lawyers said Wednesday, beginning a process to regain his freedom a week after being placed in custody over his failed attempt to impose martial law.
The petition was filed with the Seoul Central District Court to point out the arrest was "illegal" and "unjust, " both substantively and procedurally, the lawyers said in a statement to the press.
