SEOUL, Dec. 27 (Xinhua) -- South Korean prosecutors on Friday indicted former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun on charges of insurrection over his alleged role in the botched imposition of an emergency martial law early this month, Yonhap news agency reported.
The prosecution's special investigation team indicted Kim on charges of abuse of power and playing an "integral" role in an insurrection, marking the first indictment in the case on now-impeached president Yoon Suk-yeol's short-lived declaration of the martial law decree on Dec. 3, according to Yonhap. ■
