Seoul, South Korea

—
South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeol, who lawmakers voted to impeach after declaring martial law, has been freed from detention.
His release came after Seoul Central District Court on Friday canceled his arrest warrant based on technical and legal grounds.
Yoon has been in detention since January when he was arrested on charges of leading an insurrection – one of the few criminal charges the president does not have immunity from.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
