S. Korea Police Chief apologizes for last year’s martial law actions
(MENAFN) South Korea’s acting police chief issued a national apology on Monday regarding police conduct during last year’s brief period of martial law, according to reports.
"Police restricted lawmakers' entry around the National Assembly on the night of Dec. 3," Yoo said, adding: "This act disrupted democracy and the constitutional order and was an unconstitutional and illegal act that threatened the daily lives of the people," Yoo Jae-seong said.
"(I) sincerely apologize," he added.
The apology comes ahead of the first anniversary of the failed martial law attempt. Meanwhile, a former head of the national police agency and a former Seoul police chief are on trial for allegedly playing key roles in an insurrection during the period.
