A South Korean court has cancelled the arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, allowing for his release from jail. Yoon was detained in mid-January on insurrection charges after briefly imposing martial law. His legal team argued that his detention was unlawful due to delays in prosecution. While the ruling paves the way for his release, prosecutors may still appeal the decision. Yoon will now await his impeachment ruling and continue his trial while out of detention.
