South Korean prosecutors indict president on insurrection charges

South Korean prosecutors said they indicted impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol Sunday for being the "ringleader" of an insurrection after his abortive declaration of martial law, ordering the suspended leader to remain in detention.

In a statement, prosecutors said they had "indicted Yoon Suk Yeol with detention today on charges of being the ringleader of an insurrection."
