Yoon supporters' courthouse riot deepens South Korean political crisis

SEOUL -- Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol again refused to appear for questioning on Monday, his lawyers said, following an outburst of violence the previous day as his supporters broke windows while storming a court building.

Early on Sunday morning, a justice at Seoul Western District Court issued a warrant to extend Yoon's detention on charges of insurrection following his attempt to impose martial law last month. He had been arrested since last Wednesday and could now be held for weeks or even months.
