Former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo was sentenced to 23 years in prison Wednesday for playing a key role in an insurrection by abetting former President Yoon Suk Yeol's brief imposition of martial law. The Seoul Central District Court handed down the sentence in the first ruling that confirmed the declaration of martial law on Dec. 3, 2024, and the ensuing actions, constituted an insurrection. The punishment was heavier than the 15 years sought by special counsel Cho Eun-suk's team on charges
